[00:00] For a while, windows wouldn't even boot at all, but somehow I managed to make it work. When I did, apparently the boot partition is no longer how it boots, instead it boots via the main partition on the windows drive. [00:00] Doesn't Chrome already come with Flash? [00:00] arooni-mobile: Have you tried reinstalling Chrome? [00:00] Bashing-om [00:00] TJ-:apparently my nickname was already in use.

[00:01] Dyjoex: Looks like you didn't log out of IRC before reboot. OK ... do you want to try again another evening? [00:01] arooni-mobile: did you restart chrome? [00:01] yes did restart chrome after installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree [00:01] xfceKris: I've done some of the same myself. Sounds like grub, loaded into the windows drive, while the other items that linux needs to boot went to your boot partition. I know you said that you don't have a Windows disk, have you tried Hiren's Boot Disk? [00:01] Dyjoex: Before you go though, can you "pastebinit <(rfkill list)" so I know what is there on a fresh boot [00:02] drkjtr, I havent yet. I'll google it. [00:02] Yesarooni-mobile: Yes [00:02] Also, I noticed that with gparted, I can mark partition with boot flags. I' [00:02] arooni-mobile: try a sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install [00:02] mI'm wondering what that may do to the windows drive. [00:02] Dyjoex: and a test you can do for yourself at any time. Boot it with "acpi_osi="Windows 2012" " on the kernel command-line. The DSDT shows that seems to enable most services [00:02] k1l_: sup [00:03] Bashing-om: My synaptics touchpad is not scrolling properly...

But, it would over write the grub, and might bork the grub running at all. That then means you get to do a grub rescue. [00:04] Bashing-om: How about to reinstall it, would you know how to do that?

Any know much about uck in here? [00:05] Dyjoex: I think the "Windows 2012" will be the best hope if it is only a firmware issue, as we think it is since you had it randomly enabling itself [00:05] TJ-: see you later, I'll contact you if I see you n the list , bye [00:06] Dyjoex: you can also send me memos with "/msg memoserv send TJ- " [00:07] the_count: I would consider that perhaps a touchpad has a driver, and as such that 'module' should be re-installable. But, again no experience . IF you think it is a broken package, what does the package manager say ? [00:08] Bashing-om: Did you look at this link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121315/ [00:09] Dang!

[04:05] !java | ablest1980 [04:05] ablest1980: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [04:05] ablest1980: flash is pretty dead, use html5 instead [04:05] https://gist.github.com/aj07/2466e32fae6f1afe00ba [04:05] demonlove, I think paste.ubuntu.com is preferred [04:06] its a game site [04:06] required flash and java [04:06] ablest1980, it depends a lot on your browser [04:06] i have made app previously and there it installed all gem but here again it says run bundle exec spring binstub --all [04:07] ablest1980: try chromium on your site [04:07] i got firefox [04:07] demonlove, what software are you using to make the app?

[04:15] lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12122088/ [04:16] ubskeur: try a nomodeset or no_acpi boot, but check the uefi settings first [04:16] lotuspsychje, thanks :) [04:17] !nomodeset | ubskeur [04:17] ubskeur: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

My system is still running fine except for graphics driver problems and I don't want to break it manually, if an automatic update can do it safely soon. [04:26] lotuspsychje: Well, I wanted to ask ubuntu specific stuff [04:26] I think this is somewhere in the middle [04:27] llinguini: this si the right place mate, ask away [04:27] Let me rephrase, why use ubuntu, and not just stick with debian [04:27] My kubuntu have trouble shutting down. The wall-paper turned black, menu bar disappeared, but all other applications remains on screen. It just hanged there and I had to run shutdown -h now.

[06:42] ubskeur: well, you have a couple of options, you can remove the fglrx driver from the command line, if you cannot get a terminal you can always ctl+alt+f1, if you have manually edidted the Xorg.conf file I would reccomend removing it.

I just installed ubuntu on a laptop but it could not boot after installing. to fix it, I went into bios and changed boot mode from "efi" to "csm" (something like that). I don't understand exactly what this means and why it was required. Any ideas [06:42] ? === IdleOne- is now known as IdleOne [06:42] ubskeur: try booting into single user mode [06:42] !single [06:43] minas114: did you disable fastboot and secureboot from bios?

[06:47] SpaceBebop, my video card isn't on the list of video cards at that link [06:47] Kartagis: generally no [06:49] Kartagis: whats your purpose to do this exactly? [06:50] !fglrx [06:50] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [06:50] Hmm [06:50] Well, is it a newer or older card [06:50] SpaceBebop, newer probably [06:51] ubskeur: maybe try the fix broken packages, after you removed fglrx [06:51] The past of ATI has been left to ruin and they hav decided to cut their losses and move on new, better and improved driver designs not hindered by their past [06:51] lotuspsychje: I've got some scripts that utilise certain binaries. if they are in ~/bin/, I will then push all my scripts along with the binaries to my repo [06:51] lotuspsychje, with UEFI mode, ubuntu won't boot. It needs to be in CSM mode. Also, I can't boot from USB (but before installing it I could), as I get "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)" [06:51] The cost of this course of action is less then superb video support for older hardware [06:51] lotuspsychje: I could later move them, but hey [06:51] lotuspsychje, it boots now [06:52] !yay | ubskeur [06:52] ubskeur: Glad you made it! :-) [06:52] still not sure if I have the best drivers...

[06:56] lotuspsychje, the option that is selected for the amd/ati device is X.Org X server (xserver-xorg-video-ati) [06:56] lotuspsychje, I formatted the disk by my self :/ [06:56] Dashell, 14.10 is no longer supported [06:56] i know that's why i was looking at here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#SpecificOlder [06:57] ubskeur: does it show active [06:57] that's what someone told me to do when i asked if it's possible to upgrade from where i was at still [06:57] there's always someone named someone in here XD [06:57] lotuspsychje, how do you mean? [06:57] ubskeur: does it show installed in your additional driver list [06:58] lotuspsychje, I'll screenshot it === Schmiel_ is now known as Schmiel [06:59] lotuspsychje, https://imgur.com/Gp5roNX [07:00] ubskeur: should be good, i wonder why lshw says unclaimed [07:01] lotuspsychje, ok, I'll see how it goes [07:01] ubskeur: you might wanna check your syslog and dmesg for driver issues too [07:03] minas114: if you change uefi stuff, you gonna need ubuntu reinstall [07:03] lotuspsychje, btw, I ended up turning off uefi in my bios settings and installing without uefi [07:04] ubskeur: single or still dualboot? [07:04] lotuspsychje, dualboot [07:04] ubskeur: cool! [07:04] lotuspsychje, but the windows 7 partition wasn't using/didn't need uefi (I checked, it still boots) [07:04] ubskeur: you used the existing ubuntu partition to reinstall then [07:04] lotuspsychje, well, this pc had windows on it. I formatted it and created the partitions myself. I made one EFI partition, one for /, one for /home and one for swap. But in /boot I have a folder "efi" and not "uefi", like the web page you sent me suggests. [07:05] lotuspsychje, no, I removed old partitions and put new ones on in their place [07:05] ubskeur: great [07:05] i'm guessing the answer is no, but it's not at all possible to somehow switch to Mint without having to reinstall everything is there? [07:05] minas114, efi is basically the same as uefi I think [07:06] minas114: yeah, but if you cant boot there's something wrong about it right [07:06] lotuspsychje, problem is I can't boot from USB now [07:06] Dashell, no, and if it is possible, it's not worth the effort [07:06] Dashell: why do you make it so hard on yourself, just clean install [07:06] lotuspsychje, (to reformat it) [07:06] Dashell: clean install takes 30min of your life [07:06] well the last time i clean installed, i accidentally deleted windows [07:06] Dashell, that was silly of you :P [07:06] is that bad? lol [07:07] just watch out for that grub 2 goblin [07:07] ahah point lotusp.. yeah idk i can't spell youyr name [07:07] !tab | Dashell [07:07] Dashell: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:07] no but listen, it gave me the option to either overwrite the version of ubuntu that I had or just install along side it [07:07] dash_, type lot for autocomplete [07:07] so I said "overwrite"... but it never asked me about windows [07:07] i'd like to keep windows for some games I have [07:07] so if that happens again, what do I do?

[07:09] Dashell, depends where your home folder is [07:09] Dashell: you cant downgrade ubuntu [07:09] Dashell: reinstall clean or upgrade [07:09] well i think I might go back to 14.04 [07:10] Dashell, that's a clean install [07:10] Dashell: by the way you can play sims on ubuntu with playonlinux too [07:10] oh really?

[08:00] zetheroo, you have been at that for many weeks now, right [08:00] bazhang, of course windows viruses wont work, never said windows virus, but could a linux virus install itself just by unpacking a rare or running a video? [08:00] tven, nopers [08:01] tven if you mean .rar [08:01] bazhang: tried several months back and then dropped it - am now trying again - been a couple days ... why?

[08:06] firewall, faulty config, there could be several reasons. [08:07] badbodh: right, been editing smb.conf ... but what to edit precisely !? [08:07] bazhang, So got any idea on my issue? [08:07] dunno man, you gotta ask samba folks, read samba documentation, do some websearch zetheroo [08:08] badbodh: yeah, been doing all of the above [08:08] badbodh: when I ask the samba guys they say they don't know about Nautilus [08:08] smb.conf of linux won;t make any difference here, windows machine is running the server afterall [08:09] doesn't depend on nautilus either. samba runs in the background. [08:09] badbodh: seems to all work from the samba side of things - can access the shares - just cannot get past double-clicking the DOMAIN in Nautilus [08:09] ok, I'll go back in there and ask them again ;) [08:09] tven, start a new VM I had a really weird problem, I unpacked a video file from a rare. Suddenly my hard drive space for VM was ziltch, [08:09] zetheroo, is there a router in between your ubuntu and windows machine ? [08:10] badbodh: not sure what you mean ... both are in the same network [08:10] bazhang, I thought the VM comment was for someone else. So please explain than. [08:11] tven you asked about the vm, start a new one, and recreate the issue [08:11] bazhang, I never said anything about VM other than to ask about your VM referring reply. [08:12] zetheroo, ok get this. step 1 : windows machine runs the samba server. make sure all configs and services in that machine is -ok- step 2. unless you have direct lan-cord to lan-port connection between two machines, there is always a router/gateway server that runs the "network", make sure that allows samba connections/ports and step 3. install smbclient on your ubuntu machine and connect to smb:// in nautilus. [08:13] OK, try this again, I unpacked a .rar with a video. Between unpacking and playing the video, suddenly 10's of GB of free hard drive space has been sucked away, and continued to be sucked away after the fact, even with restarts. I was not using VM [08:14] tven try again means try the actual procedure again not repost the exact same problem to this channel again [08:14] zetheroo, this channel members will be able to deal with step 3. for 1 and 2 consult respective resources. windows, samba and networking channels [08:15] badbodh: some network info: Windows Server 2012 DC/AD + FreeNAS with samba shares authenticated against Windows server 2012 DC/AD + 50 - 60 PC's [08:15] zetheroo, if you have enabled ufw firewall in ubuntu, make sure you allow samba ports in it. [08:15] bazhang, you mean downloading, unpacking, and playing the video again? And if suddenly free space starts disappearing all over again, that tells me what? I don't see that bringing me any closer [08:16] Samba shares are working correctly throughout network on Linux (Ubuntu), Windows and MacOS [08:16] badbodh: ^ [08:16] the did you try connect to smb:// ? [08:16] *then [08:17] badbodh: if there was a firewall blocking samba ports on the Ubuntu machine wouldn't that stop it working even with manually entering the location in the Nautilus address field!? [08:17] bazhang, I don't understand you, and what does VM have to do with anything regarding my issue? [08:17] badbodh: yes, by manually connecting/entering address location it connects [08:17] nope, ufw only blocks incoming, not outgoing by default [08:18] tven, what sort of vm, what version of ubuntu, how many gigs were alloted to the vm in question, on which partition are these scores and scores gb's disappearing mysteriously from, or from the vm itself; clarify all of those issues first [08:18] bazhang What VM?!? [08:18] tven you repeatedly refer to VM [08:18] zetheroo, "just cannot get past double-clicking the DOMAIN in Nautilus" <- check ufw settings. allow all samba tcp and udp ports. [08:19] bazhang, repeatedly asked what VM! YOU are the one that brought up VM first! [08:19] badbodh: I though by default ufw was disabled altogether... [08:20] I had a really weird problem, I unpacked a video file from a rare. Suddenly my hard drive space for VM was ziltch, I deleted a bunch of files, it quickly became ziltch again, after each file is deleted [08:20] zetheroo, 'sudo ufw status' and check [08:20] your original post tven ^^ [08:20] I had not commented yet at that point tven [08:20] badbodh: Status: inactive [08:21] bazhang, I meant virtual memory, virtual ram, as in hard drive cache [08:21] zetheroo, you mentioned both machines are on same network, is that network handled by any router/gateway server ? [08:21] tven you should have said swap, no one says VM unless referring to virtual machines [08:21] bazhang, sorry, I didn't make the connection between my abbreviation and your virtual machine comment [08:21] or are both the machines directly connected by lan chord ? [08:21] sorry [08:21] OK [08:22] badbodh: Windows Server 2012 DC/AD and hardware firewall and switches ... [08:22] bazhang, anyway, I also specified no virtual machine involved before when I was re-clarifying what happened. [08:22] badbodh: again, firewall is not blocking samba as 50 users use them every day [08:23] yep. check that machine. something's gotta be there. don;t bother though, if you can access your windows share. [08:23] Hey guys, where can I find out what each of repositories is exactly? i.e If I turn on automatic security updates, does that update packages that are also updated? [08:23] no idea tven, ask the channel every ten to fifteen minutes, good luck [08:23] that are also outdated* [08:24] Can someone name a linux program that allows me to view hard drive space taken up, graphically? [08:24] bazhang, tven what's the story here so far? just joined in [08:25] badbodh, cannot reliably say, the story varies [08:25] hehe [08:25] tven: Disk Usage Analyser https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Baobab [08:26] JustSighDudes, rephrase your question please. one issue at a time. [08:26] badbodh, I upacked a video file from .rar and ran it, suddenly all my spare HDD space on the drive assigned for swap vanished. I deleted multiple files, some were many GB big, like a old ubuntu ISO. [08:26] badbodh, every time I deleted a file, the space created by its deletion would quickly vanish [08:27] badbodh, If I enabled security updates, does that also apply to outdated packages? E.g if I had postgres 9.3, and then 9.4 is released in the repository. Do I still get security updated for 9.3? [08:27] tven, your swap overflowing means whatever video you opened in your video player, was corrupt and resulted in memory leak. RAM got full, and swap got full after that. [08:27] JustSighDudes, nope. 9.3 will be updated to 9.4. [08:27] badbodh, I restarted my computer, I ran a disk clean, it freed up about 5.7gb, which is less than the amount of files I deleted, and now my free space says a even 4gb [08:27] badbodh, that's even if only security updates are enabled? [08:28] unless ubuntu allows to run both side by side, like emacs 23 and 24, in which case both will get security updates. JustSighDudes [08:28] badbodh, thanks [08:28] I saw that Firefox 40.0 is on Ubuutnu 15.04, while Firefox has 40.2 release. is 40.0 good? [08:28] badbodh, a memory leak can continue even after a system restart? [08:29] just check 'dependencies' section, if 9.3 and 8.4 'breaks' or 'conflicts', only one can be present. and 9.3 will be updated to 9.4 [08:29] JustSighDudes, ^ [08:29] *8.4/9.4 [08:30] tven, after restart swap should be erased. [08:31] badbodh, but the space did not come back, and even more space kept vanishing after further deletion, AFTER system restart. [08:31] tven, that's for your swap filling up. as for your hdd filling up, looks like somebody forkbombed you. never download .rar files containing vidoes. they never contain videos. [08:33] erkan^, firefox will eventually be updated to 40.2 , give it some time. [08:33] I cant install steam on ubuntu.. get this error "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libGL.so.1" [08:33] ok, badbodh [08:34] !info firefox [08:34] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.15.04.1 (vivid), package size 41015 kB, installed size 99262 kB [08:34] security updates very soon erkan^ [08:34] are you on 15.04 too? So yes, do you want to open LibreOffice Calc, and empthy field typ: your e-mailaddress example badbodh@freenode.net, than ENTER, what did you see? Gray too? [08:35] try in #libreoffice yet erkan^ ? [08:35] erkan^, no i am on debian testing. it is ubuntu's mommy distro. [08:35] badbodh, swap and hdd filling up would be the same, since I didn't have a separate partition for it, it was set to /home, it seems, I dont recall what my swap is set to actually, how do I check? [08:35] do you use LibreOffice too, badbodh ? [08:35] badbodh, It did have the video file though, but there was a delay in its running. === IdleOne is now known as Guest81512 [08:36] tven, run "cat /etc/fstab" in terminal, paste the output on dpaste.com, share link here [08:36] hi all .. i installed ubuntu via kickstart .. but on reboot it stucks at initramfs and I have to type exit to fix it [08:36] don;t paste here, it floods [08:36] erkan^, yes. [08:36] is it something common or is there a fix for it ? [08:37] I make a new bugs on LO now [08:38] admin0, do you have older kernels or is yours a fresh install. boot to older. [08:38] its a fresh install [08:38] ubuntu 14.04 [08:39] admin0, boot again, note down the last message where it gets stuck. [08:39] badbodh, http://dpaste.com/28NP6YV But you said swap goes away after restart, so wouldn't this "forkbomb" also go away after restart? [08:39] doing that right now [08:39] is there a image paste service that you guys recommend for the screenshot ? [08:40] something else ... when I open something that needs administrative access to the machine like the User accounts settings (unlock) or install/remove apps from USC I am asked for the password of the local user (temp) and not the AD user that I am logged in with. Is there any way to change this? [08:40] tven, i don;t see a swap. is yours "install within windows" or independent install on hdd ? [08:41] badbodh, direct installed on HDD, no windows [08:41] tven, i don;t see a swap partition. [08:42] badbodh, It might be using /home for swap, I dont remember what I installed it as. [08:42] how did you know swap is full ? [08:42] can't use home as your swap dummy, home filesystem is ext4, swap filesystem is just 'swap' [08:43] badbodh, I didn't, but /homes space was being continuously eaten up. [08:43] badbodh: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org//show_bug.cgi?id=93524 [08:43] bugs.documentfoundation.org bug 93524 in Calc "E-mail address gray" [Normal,Unconfirmed] [08:44] To clarify, Only the space on my /home partition was being eaten up, badbodh [08:44] erkan^, this is ubuntu channel, not libreoffice. for bugs on office, join their channel. [08:44] Yes, but my English is no good. Can you understand what I have filled a bugs, badbodh [08:44] ? [08:45] erkan^, in this channel we discuss ubuntu matters only [08:45] :) [08:45] ok :) [08:45] tven, have you installed 'bleachbit' app ? [08:46] admin0, use postimage.org or uploadpie.com for pics [08:46] badbodh, Yeah, I ran it, it cleared out 5.7gb space, which was less than what was eaten up, but even that space suddenly became only 4gb. [08:46] ok [08:46] waiting for the reboot [08:47] tven, when you run it, make sure you deselect "wipe free space" option. that's what creates this problem. [08:47] badbodh, I did. So that bomb you mentioned, can it survive restarts? [08:47] tven, as for now sit tight and let bleachbit run completely. if you interrupted it midwy, lord help thee soul. [08:47] *thy soul. [08:48] tven, you were not bombed. forkbombs eat ram and cpu, not hdd. unless you modify it to write text files too. [08:49] badbodh, I did. It ran completely, except for some system stuff it lacked access. It freed up 5.7gb, much less than that which was eaten, which further dropped down to 4gb [08:49] tven, to put it straight. 1. you played a video that was possibly corrupt, ate up ram and swap 2. you panicked and run bleachbit, with 'wipe-free-space' on which ate up more space. [08:49] badbodh, This was after restart, this thing seemed to survive two restarts [08:50] badbodh, it says here: http://s18.postimg.org/zbszou1nd/Screen_Shot_2015_08_19_at_10_49_22_AM.png [08:50] yup, that's bleachbit. it saves some stuff in your home directory. removing it is a nightmare too. [08:50] badbodh, no, I didnt run bleachbit till after restart [08:50] i type exit and all is normal [08:50] doesn';t matter, you ran it once. [08:50] let me paste my kickstart file and pxe kernel file [08:51] does anybody know how to remove bleachbit's 'wipe free space' junk from home directory ? [08:52] badbodh, It's not the cause of my /home partition being continuously sucked up like a cosmic vacuum, even after a restart, is my point, since all this happened before running it. [08:52] tven, stop panicking. repeating the same story again and again won;t change the fact you ran bleachbit without understanding what it does. [08:53] now suffer the low space till someone suggests a solution here. [08:53] badbodh: my kickstart and pxe config: http://pastebin.com/pyZTMnHG [08:54] public service announcement: heute abend ist treffen und zwar ausnahmsweise in der Q-bar [08:54] wrong chat :o) [08:54] tven, now you ask others "i ran bleachbit with wipe freespace option, now my hard drive is full. what should i delete?" [08:54] badbodh, I am not panicking, I am just saying I still don't know the cause. And bleach bit gave me more free space than before I ran it, before than I had zero. [08:55] badbodh, I tell you, that is wrong! you misunderstand me! [08:55] tven, run 'disk usage analyzer' and check occupied space. [08:55] see which folder or file is eating up lots of space. [08:56] bleachbit seems like a scary program to run blindly [08:56] admin0, lol. that's developer stuff, i have to tap out :D [08:57] its just a kickstart :D [08:57] file [08:57] bleachbit does little more than several lines of bash in most cases [08:58] i don't do haxor and dev stuff. keep asking , someone else may be able to answer. [08:58] badbodh, It didn't tell me anything unusual [08:59] tven, it doesn;t tell you anything. you need to check each folder and file size yourself. see what's occupying more space than it should. [08:59] analyzer only show you pretty pie-chart and some other details. [09:00] badbodh, I dont see anything in the folders that have significant space as shown here, having anything unusual. [09:00] ncdu is a good tool to see what occupying space [09:01] eclectichedgehog, some folks run bleachbit with 'wipe free space', and reboot in panic when they see 'low disk space' notification. and do permanent damage. do you know which folder(s) he should be removing to regain space ? [09:01] i believe tven here has similar issue. [09:03] i believe bb creates a special temp file somewhere, this will be taking the extra space [09:04] badbodh, That isn't what I did though... [09:05] I have multiple eps-files, they are like foo1.eps, foo2.eps and foon.eps . How I can open eps files and watch like animation? Images are easy, once opened then I use arrow-buttons to cycle through all images. However, I can't seem to cycle eps-files. [09:05] check this for bleachbit issue - https://askubuntu.com/questions/604531/irremovable-folder-after-wiping-free-space-with-bleach-bit [09:05] and good luck lol [09:05] I use "dhclient interface" to get ipv4 address, what command do I need to run to request ipv6 address? [09:05] eclectichedgehog, BB has nothing to do with the strange core problem that plagued me [09:06] hello [09:06] tven, your core problem was swap full. that should be rectified after reboot. but then again you ran bb, which won't rectify after reboot. [09:06] Im new to Ubuntu. And I've downloaded amd drivers, trying to install it now in text editor. It's taking a surprisingly long time, cant remember it taking more than 7 minutes when I installed it on win7. Now it seems not to be finished for another 30 minutes :s Am I doing something wrong? I simply clicked the run file and the script ended up being read by Text Editor [09:07] hello [09:07] nihaoa [09:07] badbodh, No, it wasnt rectified after reboot [09:07] tven, for now sit tight and stop offering suggestions. let us find something and rule things out one by one. [09:07] i never use the wipe free space option anyway [09:08] hello tom-tom [09:08] hello badbpdh [09:08] just too much of a resource hog and renders most machines useless for hours [09:08] regardless, BB has nothing to do with my core problem, this is not a "suggestion" this is something I know [09:09] hello [09:09] tven, open terminal and run 'ls -a', show us the output on pastebin [09:09] Hours? BB runs in less than a minute for me [09:10] tven, im glad you have a cray at home... [09:10] cray? [09:11] nevermind [09:11] Benze, just clicking on the text will only open the text file, not run it. look for instructions in the driver's archive. a 'readme' or something. [09:11] never mind my previous question, because I convert to eps to png then I can cycle png files instead of eps. [09:11] badbodh , are you sure? It does says it [09:12] its loading [09:12] .run file [09:12] ciaoooo [09:12] !list [09:12] boxitto89: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [09:13] Benze, from a terminal do a ./progname.run - whatever the run file is called [09:17] electichedgehog , it's in /temp which I dont have permission in it seems [09:17] Or the file itself [09:20] regarding BB, use "sudo rm -rf 'iJ5soqs a3'" to reclaim any space lost from free space wipe? [09:23] Is there any way to export an enviromental variable to *all* upstart's daemons (in trusty) ? [09:26] Hm updating drivers didn't solve Steam issue.

[09:59] it says it will uninstall xorg and lots of other packages. why? [09:59] Bernzel: then you shouldn't have to install anything else [09:59] how k1l [09:59] baja: but that would have been a good info at the start. not the lies about "i love the terminal" [10:00] mcphail , then I have no clue what's wrong [10:00] after 10 minutes wait I pressed power button to reboot. [10:00] hehe [10:00] kil lol i love the terminal [10:00] i had no option [10:00] Bernzel: is it a problem launching steam itself or launching a steam game? [10:00] aton_: that is why "but i want synaptic" is a bad choice for supporters. [10:00] mcphail , launching causes terminal to give me this "Steam needs to install additional packages: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386" [10:00] launching steam that is === Guest60003 is now known as Steven_M [10:01] Bernzel: they should have been downloaded with the initial install, but just run "sudo apt-get libwhatever:i386" from any terminal [10:02] hey, are all of you guys here from reddit? what is your base station? (home forum?) [10:02] k1l how do i recover my network notifications [10:02] Bernzel, i think the way is to uninstall current graphics drivers and reinstall steam and let it do the graphics [10:02] fixcolorprofile: this is support only. chat goes into #ubuntu-offtopic channel :) [10:02] baja: install gentoo [10:02] kll thanks [10:02] baja: that depends on what you did to your notification area [10:03] eclectichedgehog , I haven't installed any graphicdrivers [10:03] Bernzel, okay [10:04] And I tried running "sudo apt-get install libc6-i386" without success [10:04] Bernzel: just install the packages steam asked for and your drivers should be fine [10:04] mcphail , I tried. It doesn't make any difference, it's like steam can't find the packages [10:05] multi-arch [10:05] Bernzel: paste the exact error and the exact command you tried to use to rectify it to a pastebin service [10:06] Bernzel, is multiarch support installed for i386 detection? [10:06] k1l :is there way i can resize my notification area so that i can access all icons that have been hidden [10:08] or anyone provide link as to where i can get help for notification are [10:08] electichedhehog: http://pastebin.com/aG1nLWRn [10:08] baja: what did you do? [10:09] i dont know it was months ago. i guess i removed or deleted [10:09] Bernzel: "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" in a pastebin please [10:09] k1l: i dont "want" synaptic. aptitude is fine. still why does it remove xorg? [10:10] how can i see why xorg is removed by the installation of libgl1-mesa-dev [10:10] aton_: i cant tell you because i dont see what you see on synaptic [10:10] kIl what? [10:11] Bernzel: run that command in a terminal and show the output please [10:12] also my workspace switcher was removed [10:12] kIl http://pastebin.com/mSs4en29 [10:12] Bernzel: you _are_ running a supported version of Ubuntu with no PPAs? [10:12] is there i can restore my notification to default settings [10:12] k1l [10:13] Bernzel: run the updates. hit y [10:14] mcphail , no idea. kIl Ok [10:15] kIl , finished. [10:15] Try to launch now? [10:15] "http://repo.steampowered.com precise/steam" - does installing steam on 14.04 add that repo? Or did you do it manually? (I don't have access to my box just now to check...) [10:16] mcphail: they only have that precise repo [10:16] I know this is a theme based error because default unity them doesnt have this problem https://u.teknik.io/1Gtinw.mp4 - so how do I fix it? [10:16] k1l: ok - just looked odd [10:16] please see vid - 1.2 MBs [10:17] Still get message Steam needs to install these additional packages: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 [10:17] Bernzel: sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6 [10:18] kIl , nope. :/ [10:19] damn.. [10:19] baja: does this work on a new user account? [10:20] another question, how do I stop ubuntu sending my keystrokes to amazon? [10:20] Bernzel: sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 [10:20] kIl I have broken packages.. E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [10:21] Bernzel: "apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-glx:i386" and "apt-cache policy libglapi-mesa:i386" [10:21] ayylians: its not sending your keystrokes to amazon. see the privacy settings in the system settings [10:21] Hi all, I tried to add a ppa and I got the following error: https://dpaste.de/BUJF/raw Suggestions? [10:21] k1l: forget synaptic. i use aptitude now. how can i see why xorg is removed by the installation of libgl1-mesa-dev (using aptitude) [10:22] ayylians: and for the error ask the theme maker about it [10:22] why is that whever I type words on dash, it shows me amazon search results? Now I have disabled it so it doesnt show there anymore. thanks I guess. [10:23] kIl , no difference. Must I apply these packages by rebooting or something? [10:23] ok i will try to do that [10:23] Bernzel, does "dkpg -l | grep multiarch" return anything? [10:23] can anyone tell me how i can make a ubuntu live usb drive made unetbootin persistent so i dont have to reconfigure everytime i use it i am presently using 15.? on an imac mid 2011 [10:23] Bernzel: could be due to the kernel upgrade. i would try a reboot [10:24] eclectichedgehog , command not found [10:24] Hi , is there any way to clear the second flag iU in the dpkg status [10:24] Bernzel, sorry, "dpkg -l | grep multiarch" [10:25] typo [10:25] I have some issues on lic6 dependecny and apt-get install -f even don't solve it. [10:25] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev: libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.2); however: Version of libc6 on system is 2.15-0ubuntu10.3.

It got installed when I installed ubuntu restricted extra. I switched from windows to ubuntu because of win10 privacy issues, so i hope you can understand my privacy concerns here. [10:26] k1l: what are you referring to? [10:26] Bernzel, okay that seems fine [10:28] eclectichedgehog , okey :/ Im doing a reboot, brb [10:28] anyone anyone??? [10:28] baja: since you dont know what you did we need to find out what is broken on your system. so see if the guest account or another user account works [10:29] yes there is a guest session account [10:29] electichedgehog , reboot didn't help [10:30] baja: does that guest account have the same issues? come on, i dont want to ask you every thing 10 times. [10:34] Bernzel_, i would wipe steam install and start again [10:34] eclectichedgehog , I've done that 4 times already. :( [10:34] dpkg --purge steam [10:35] eclectichedgehog , requested operation requires superuser privilege [10:35] yes [10:35] How to get past that? [10:35] sudo dpkg --purge steam [10:35] dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove steam which isn't installed [10:36] :s [10:36] okay so its not actually installed [10:36] seems strange [10:38] eclectighedgehog, I took a look on Software Center, and the only Steam I can install is the launcher?

[10:39] Bernzel_, dont you have to add "canonical partners" to the list of repositories in the software list? [10:40] eclectichedgehog , tried and nothing was found searching for Steam [10:42] Bernzel_, do you have canonical partners repo enabled? [10:43] eclectichedgehog , if that means clicking canocical partners when pressing All Software, then yes [10:43] Hi all, I tried to add a ppa and I got the following error: https://dpaste.de/BUJF/raw Suggestions? [10:44] Bernzel_, so it already enabled and you have done an "sudo apt get update" [10:44] Bernzel_, so it already enabled and you have done an "sudo apt-get update" [10:45] if its enabled or not Im not sure. But I've done "sudo apt-get update" many times now [10:46] then it should be a matter of "sudo apt-get install steam" assuming the canonical partner repo is active [10:47] Yes.

[11:14] medicijnman: First thing... ensure the USB cable is firmly connected; try it in different ports; try a different cable; try it on another PC. Secondly, the USB<>SATA interfaces in some of these external caddies can literally fry themselves dead. I've seen and had several die over the years. [11:15] hi if anyone want to help me, the script wok in console but doesn't start at login.

[11:17] i meant the icons dint come back [11:17] did you get some errors or outputs? [11:17] its same as before [11:17] none [11:17] medicijnman: Most external drives need external power because the maximum theoretical power from a USB2 port is 05.A .. and in practice often a lot less [11:17] how did you run that commands? [11:17] medicijnman: 0.5A, even! [11:18] each independently [11:18] TJ-: i plugged in external power, i'm looking up the make/model specs [11:18] was there specific way? [11:18] TJ-: the external power needs to be plugged in or else it doesn't work (i think this is obvious) [11:19] the panel dissapeared and then reappeared [11:19] baja: did you run that as root again? [11:20] what exactly? [11:20] yes [11:20] i did [11:20] baja: why? [11:20] medicijnman: Yes... I have a couple of external cabinets here... they have dual eSATA/USB2 interfaces...

Would you recommend to do this on 15.04 or 15.10 ? [11:32] TJ-: i'm going to consider to open the drive and look if i can plug this into a desktop computer if this drive keeps refusing to mount, but first i would like to be sure there is no way to reliably mount the drive because i don't want to fiddle around in this ehdd [11:32] AppAraat, 15.10? beta [11:32] medicijnman: Do you have any electronics diagnostic equipment, or know someone who does? My first step would be to verify the power adapter is putting out the correct voltage and can provide the current the device requires. Next, I'd ensure that the power socket on the device hasn't had its joints fractured or gone dry-joint (I often reflow fresh solder on) because physical insert/remove stresses can break them over time. [11:33] cfhowlett: yeah it's mostly for experimentation purposes. As I understand it, git master of KDE isn't all too stable as well. [11:33] medicijnman, is this machine connected to usb2? try to find an USB2 port [11:33] medicijnman: If you have another power adapter that outputs the same voltage and at least as much current, and has the same plug, you could try swapping them [11:33] AppAraat, so an unstable on top of an unreleased beta will tell you ... what? [11:33] *connected to USB3 * [11:34] medicijnman: The fact it fails on different PCs tells us its a problem with the device, and the most obvious is lack of power [11:34] TJ-: i lack knowledge to back my intuition, but i think it is solely a software problem. up till yesterday it mounted automagically. the leds light up and the drive spins up when i connect it so there is at least power flowing into the device. [11:35] medicijnman: I doubt the disk drive itself is bad; if that were so the USB interface and the internal SATA controller wouls show up in Linux. The fact they don't tells us its either a power issue, or a USB connection issue [11:35] cfhowlett: I'm not too sure. I want the PPA packages to be most compatible with the distro packages, also to avoid breakages in that way and if possible contribute bugreports. Are you saying that using the beta is a bad idea in that regard? [11:36] medicijnman: If the device no longer shows up when connected, then the USB interface of the device isn't working for some reasons [11:36] medicijnman: most common cause is physical stress on the connectors === Blaster is now known as Guest61721 [11:36] hi [11:37] medicijnman: if you have a desktop PC, take the SATA drive out of the G3 enclosure and connect it directly into the PC and I'd bet it works fine [11:37] not too sure if this is in any way related, but there appear to be USB drives which can only be formatted as specific filesystems. [11:37] AppAraat, I would think a released, fully supported OS would be more informative and useful for your stated purpose. Others may disagree... [11:37] TJ-: then i suspect it is the usb interface that is failing, but don't know for sure [11:38] Could someone tell me why on some users when I SSH in I can type and press tab to autocomplete, however on other users I cannot? [11:38] ubuntu server 14.04 [11:38] medicijnman: the easiest way to find out is to swap the drive out to another SATA controller, which remove the USB interface from the circuit [11:38] !server | AEL-H [11:38] AEL-H: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[11:40] medicijnman: Not at all, the SATA drive inside the enclosure will be connected with a standard SATA connector (power+SATA) [11:40] ioria: wow, ok. after about 20 attempts to replug the drive it now does mount [11:40] medicijnman: That tells us you've got a physical connector issue then [11:41] medicijnman, you could try a double usb cable [11:41] ioria: it is connected with usb3.0 rather than usb2.0. usb2 is the only one that worked for me until now [11:42] medicijnman: Does the device disappear if you wiggle the enclosure end of the USB cable? [11:42] cfhowlett: and thanks for your recommendation. I'm mainly planning on using Kwin as a standalone WM and optionally have its tiling support (main function I'm interested in are the Scale and Expo functionality of Cinnamon). Furthermore I'll use Krunner and I'm still thinking on which systray I'll choose, but I think it's going to be one of KDE ones. [11:42] TJ-: hmmm that is quite troublesome. i better should backup my data to another drive and see if i works with (s)ata. [11:42] TJ-: Are you still here ? [11:43] medicijnman: if not, I'd try reconnecting to the PC's USB2 port and wiggling the PC end around gently and seeing if that causes it to show up. Somewhere you've got a bad physical connection [11:43] medicijnman, i have no usb3 ports .... my issue ,once, was that the thing wanted a double usb cable [11:43] AppAraat, might want to check in with #kubuntu and the kubuntu forums. Could be you can contribute or glean insight from previous works. also #kde is a thing. [11:43] TJ-: usb flash drives always mount correctly on my machine, but doesn't that rule out the physical connector problem? [11:44] TJ-: the same goes for other ehdds on both my machines [11:44] hello everyone [11:44] medicijnman: If the wiggling doesn't change anything, then suspect the power... USB3 can provide more amps per port... so if the external power adapter is failing the USB3 might just supply the missing current the USB2 cannot [11:44] TJ-: that is, only this drive has mounting problems. [11:44] medicijnman: It ought to yes. This kind of issue requires elimination of possibilities until only one remains [11:45] medicijnman: the fact it has the same problem on another PC strongly suggests its the G3/cable/power that is the problem [11:45] hello, is normal to have problems with autentication in thunderbirdo, Xubuntu? [11:46] TJ-: i disconnected the drive and plugged it into usb2 again and now it also mounts correctly [11:46] medicijnman: I have found reports online that the G3's USB2 data port does break away from the PCB [11:47] vasgorad login problems are never normal [11:47] medicijnman, dos it works , now ? [11:47] TJ-: sorry i don't understand exactly what you're trying to say [11:47] problem != normal [11:47] *e [11:47] vasgorad, nope. double check your credentials [11:47] medicijnman: If the issue is physical, then random changes in behaviour are to be expected, the device will come and go depending no how the connectors are moved/pressured. [11:47] I tried and tried [11:47] ioria: it works as in mounting the drive, but this is too unreliable for me. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't [11:48] I am tried * [11:48] why [11:48] medicijnman, sorry to hear that [11:48] vasgorad, login to your accounts via browser. copy those settings to your tbird accounts. [11:48] medicijnman: Trying to say? - I've said it. 80% certainty there's a physical break in the G3 connectors that is causing intermittent behaviour [11:48] OK [11:49] medicijnman: if you continue using it in this state it is liable to disconnect during vital data transfers, and cause corruption. [11:49] someone use drupal? [11:49] TJ-: sorry i thought i misunderstood something [11:49] my software center wont open all of a sudden and none of my apt-get stuff will work, any ideas? [11:50] cfhowlett: cool, will do. Thanks once again :) [11:50] TJ-: wow that is a serious problem, i guess i need to backup the data right now before it stops working again. [11:50] Hello! How do I choose the device for bootloader installation when installing Ubuntu in dual boot with windows 8 in efi mode? [11:50] alu_, #drupal [11:50] yes [11:50] medicijnman, consider also another 3.5 case maybe [11:50] medicijnman: If it were me I'd not access the drive until it is fixed... what happens if it is transferring data and the connector fails in the midst? [11:51] thanks [11:51] TJ-: mounting the drive as readonly and copying data should be harmless for the destination drive right? [11:51] what program can I use to make a bootable usb drive ? [11:51] !usb | Dyjoe [11:51] Dyjoe: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:51] Dyjoe: what OS are you on and what is on that iso? === wook is now known as Guest31720 [11:52] thunderbird sais that password or user name is incorrect [11:52] :( [11:52] I'm on ubuntu atm [11:52] ioria: i have multiple other usb ehdds but i (wrongly) decided to temporary store some files on that drive. because it is unreliable i don't think i will use that drive anymore [11:52] Dyjoe: did acpi_osi="Windows 2012" help? [11:52] Dyjoe: then use startup disk creator [11:53] posted above, Software Center won't open and sudo apt-get commands all fail (with a header issue), has anybody seen this before or have any ideas? [11:53] medicijnman: Unfortunately, "read-only" isn't. The file system metadata can still be written to with updated access times [11:53] TJ-: No,still the same the settings have return to what they were previously , but I think I've observed an error about acpi when i booted up [11:53] Dyjoe: what is on that .iso? because windows doesnt work that way [11:54] kil:Windows .I need it so I can try to switch my FN commands back to try to remove the hard block from the wireless [11:54] can't seem to find an alternative [11:54] Dyjoe: I read the PCs DSDT in detail after you left last night; "Windows 2012" is definitely the option. I found the code that controls the RF kill function and it only does everything when the "Windows 2012" setting is there [11:54] TJ-: so there is no safe way to mount it in such a way the file system only is allowed to read data from the drive?

[11:57] cfhowlett: Now apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:57] medicijnman: you can buy another external enclosure for less than €10 you know... just move the drive to it [11:58] ioria: i know it's not much :p but i don't want to lose that data ;) [11:58] bazhang: it's bluray's file [11:58] dfcnvt, so a blu-ray rip? [11:58] bazhang: Yea, I believe so. [11:58] TJ-: i'm already copying the data to another ehdd ;) thanks for your help [11:58] ioria: thanks for your help [11:58] medicijnman: if you get another, get one with USB3, as well.... it'll be fast :) [11:59] dfcnvt, mplayer should have no probs with that [11:59] I get this error [11:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12124145/ [11:59] TJ-: I find it funny sometimes that my 6 year old phone which I've dropped and modified never has connection problems but my laptop which is significantly more expensive and newer does [11:59] !info smplayer [11:59] smplayer (source: smplayer): complete front-end for MPlayer and MPlayer2.

If the market for operating system weren't so 1-sided then the hardware makers would fully support all OSes with good drivers [12:00] medicijnman, you cat try fo format it ntfs in win, and test it [12:00] *can [12:01] ioria: but that doesn't help me from the connector problems, and i just got rid of all my windows machines. i don't want to go back to that horrible environment :p [12:01] TJ-:well ironically enough my compaq did initially come with linux installed from the manufacturer [12:01] medicijnman, ok ... ^_^ [12:04] It's able to play but sometime I get freezed or turned into green and pause for a few seconds then play continually.

[12:16] Mattias, i guess this is normal, no message, no OK. [12:16] TJ-: Nope,it's the same thing I've even done rfkill list . Maybe I haven't inserted it correctly? I've pressed e went to the linux line and added it at the end (linux .... acpi_osi="Windows 2012") ? [12:16] ( only errors, if there are erros) [12:16] Mattias: since 15.04 ubuntu uses systemd. but better ask your hoster what systemimage that is and what they use there [12:16] OerHeks: It's not normal, every other ubuntu I've been on has shown messages that stopping service was ok etc [12:17] k1l: Yeah, I guess. Just strange they left out such a useful thing. [12:17] Dyjoe: Yes... and then booted that with pressing F10 or Ctrl+X ? [12:18] TJ-: yes , nothing changed [12:18] Mattias, not always > http://paste.ubuntu.com/12124266/ [12:18] Dyjoe: quick way to find out which was used at boot is the search the kernel log: "grep osi /var/log/dmesg" should do it ... you should see 3 or more lines with that [12:19] Dyjoe: you'll see 2 lines that report the kernel command line, and another which is what you want showing that setting is being activated [12:19] OerHeks: Yes, not always, but that doesn't make it normal. It makes it a rare thing most likely due to a missing package. [12:19] Mattias, what service exactly ? i guess it is normal [12:20] nginx, php5-fpm, munin-node, any service you can think of [12:20] "any service you can think of" is not true, i just showed. [12:21] i hanve no nginx running, so i cannot compare [12:21] c/have [12:22] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12124295/ [12:22] OerHeks: From my perspective on this specific vps, it is true. [12:22] Dyjoe: I'm just reading the kernel documentation on the acpi_osi setting... there is another variation you sohuld try using a "!" to disable every other OSI option: use "apci_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2012" " [12:23] Mattias, you can try with sudo systemctl status " something" [12:23] Dyjoe: Aha! OK, a mistake there. Don't include the double quotes at the start. I write double-quotes in IRC to surround the things I want you to use. Don't include my surrounding double-quotes in what you type [12:24] Dyjoe: you have vt.handoff=7 "acpi_osi=Windows 2012" it should be vt.handoff=7 acpi_osi=Windows 2012" [12:24] Dyjoe: Sorry, typo again! it should be: acpi_osi="Windows 2012" [12:24] Dyjoe: however, next time try: acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2012" [12:25] ioria: That gives me output as well as showing the restarts/stops/starts I've done for the specific service [12:26] TJ-:rebooting to try the ! one [12:26] Dyjoe: *fingers crossed [12:26] ioria: or is the service package deprecated and I should use systemctl to start/stop services? [12:27] oh, systemctl restart nginx gave no output either [12:27] Mattias, you still can use both, on 15.04 [12:27] Mattias, do you have mysql ? [12:28] ioria: Yes [12:28] Mattias, sudo systemctl status mysql [12:28] ioria: is it just that, restart/start/stop/reload commands don't give output in ubuntu 15 anymore? [12:29] status does give me output [12:29] Mattias, sudo service mysql status [12:29] yeah, gives me the same output as systemctl status [12:30] Mattias, t gives or not ? [12:30] *i [12:30] Mattias, and the problem is ? [12:31] ioria: I've always had messages that shows if the restarting went ok or not [12:31] Mattias, can you post the output of sudo systemctl status mysql ? [12:32] Mattias: that does seem to be a regression, if restart/start/stop/reload are no longer showing the stopped...started messages [12:32] TJ-: the quotes appear by themselves apparently acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2012" and this time i double checked it was only the windows 2012 in quotes [12:32] TJ-: Do you get messages on version 15? [12:32] Mattias: I don't use it [12:32] Hello [12:33] Dyjoe: appear by themselves? you mean what you see in the dmesg log is different to what you typed in the boot loader when you edited it? [12:33] Dyjoe: can you show me "cat /proc/cmdline" please? [12:35] Dyjoe: I don't think the moving quotes matters anyhow, I'm just surprised the output is actually munged from what the user types [12:35] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12124356/ [12:36] ioria: http://pastebin.com/5Sx4cvbT [12:37] Dyjoe: "grep -i osi /var/log/dmesg" should tell you if the osi setting has been acted on - we want a line other than those reporting the kernel command line that includes the "Windows 2012" phrase [12:37] Mattias, seems ok .... [12:37] ioria: see how empty that restart command is? and on ubuntu 12-14 it is not [12:37] Mattias, let me boot my vivid ... [12:38] Mattias: that looks OK to me; it shows the stop and start. [12:38] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12124378/ [12:38] TJ-: The bottom shows ubuntu 12-14, the top part shows ubuntu 15 [12:39] TJ-: it does not show stop start there, only under status in ubuntu 15 [12:39] Mattias: Ahhh, OK, sorry, didn't read it properly! [12:39] Dyjoe: "ACPI: Added _OSI(Windows 2012)" that shows the setting was added [12:40] Dyjoe: however, this may be the cause of the problem: "Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored" [12:40] hi [12:41] Mattias, right ... no output ... i think is ok ... [12:42] Or a new bug? :) [12:42] Mattias, i don't think so.... [12:42] ioria: Mattias what is on the end of 'service' "which service && readlink -e $(which service)" [12:43] TJ- mysql [12:43] ioria: I very much doubt it! [12:43] TJ- i'm using systemctl [12:43] TJ-: Got /usr/sbin/service 2x on two separate lines [12:44] Mattias: Good :) How about "file $(which service)" [12:44] hi [12:44] TJ- sudo service mysql status gives Usage: /etc7init. ... etc etc [12:44] /usr/sbin/service: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable [12:45] Mattias: Same as 14.04 so far. Now what is in it? Can you "pastebinit /usr/sbin/service" ? [12:45] TJ- sorry, misunderstood you :P [12:46] ioria: I gathered :P [12:46] TJ-: It uses systemctl basically, I'll paste it [12:46] Mattias: I suspect the old upstart calls for start/stop/reload/restart may have been replaced with systemd calls [12:47] TJ-: yeah, no need to paste then ;) but that's basically what it does [12:47] And systemctl returns no output ? [12:47] Mattias, maybe a good idea to ask for a option for status after any systemd command. [12:47] Mattias: and possibly systemd doesn't write anything to console by default [12:48] Dyjoe: Could you "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" ... I want to compare it with the dmesg we collected last night without the 2012 setting [12:50] TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12124453/ btw is there an alternative to unebootin? I can't seem to make it to make ntfs usbs [12:51] Dyjoe: why do you want NTFS? [12:51] from what I've read that's what my usb stick needs to be in order for me to inst win 7 [12:52] Dyjoe: if you have a Windows PXE ISO just write it to the USB... the internal layout of the ISO contains the file-system. A USB writer shouldn't get involved in manipulating the file system [12:53] Can someone give me a hint on how I can find the info on how to change my mouse's LED colors? I went searching for like [mouse hacking ubuntu] or something and found info on identifying the vendor and product #s, and stuff about button mapping, but nothing about LEDs. [12:53] Dyjoe: if you're trying to make the USB a bootable persistent Windows install, then you'd have to consult some hybrid Windows PXE guides for that [12:53] LonelyDanbo, changing mouse led colours?? never heard of that. what mouse is this? [12:54] It's a CMStorm {Cooler Master} Recon. It can change it's colors on Windows, but the software for that doesn't work in Wine. [12:54] Why would a mouse have changeable LED colours - sounds worse than go-faster stripes on a car! [12:54] Sorry, was meant to reply to OerHeks [12:54] LonelyDanbo: you'd need to ask Cooler Master for Linux drivers, or tech specs for the interface [12:55] Cooler Master doesn't have Linux drivers. I need to hack it. [12:55] What hardware vendors sell computer with Ubuntu pre-installed? [12:55] I don't know how their software can change the colors in Windows but not Wine. [12:55] LonelyDanbo this is no hacking space or channel [12:56] I just need to find info on how to read data from the mouse. So far all I've found is very specific about reading buttons. [12:56] LonelyDanbo: because it requires a proprietary driver. Userspace needs the driver to communicate with the GPIOs that control the LEDs, presumably [12:57] I don't know what half of that means. Are you saying the signal sent over USB to the mouse is more complicated than normal? [12:57] LonelyDanbo: for clues look at the Windows driver .inf file for the mouse; it'll probably contain clues about a separate driver file for the mouse LEDs, since the mouse actions themselves will likely be regular USB HID [12:58] LonelyDanbo, it's because Wine depends on native drivers to control things like the mouse (not windows drivers). It's a better question for the #winehq channel. [12:58] a quick search gives me no clue for a linuxdriver [12:58] windows driver .inf file. I'll see if their software has such a thing. [12:59] LonelyDanbo: mice are human interface devices (HIDs). USB has a standard protocol for them, so no special driver is usually required (all OSes have one the supports USb-HID). LEDs are not HID, therefore they'll need a unique endpoint on the USB device, and likely a unique driver to talk to the endpoint [12:59] yes but why would the software designed to communicate with the mouse under Windows not be able to do so under Wine? [12:59] LonelyDanbo: a windows driver .inf file tells Windows how to install and configure drivers, all driver packages have one [12:59] LonelyDanbo: I already told you [13:00] LonelyDanbo: the user interface *requires* a special driver that knows how to talk to the LED controller in the mouse [13:00] LonelyDanbo because wine is not the same as windows === m0dul8r is now known as m0dul8r_ [13:00] LonelyDanbo: drivers are for the OS. Wine cannot/does not do drivers, only userspace [13:03] great. there's nothing but an .exe [13:03] maybe the exe will install an .inf... :| [13:04] Im doing some tutorial on commandline. Im doing "less" on some config files to read them, but how do I exit the file when in less-mode? [13:04] Bernzel: q [13:05] Thank you, user with too complex nick to type! [13:05] !tab | Bernzel [13:05] Bernzel: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [13:05] LonelyDanbo Cooler Master has its own support http://community.coolermaster.com/ [13:07] LonelyDanbo, totally no linux support yet. [13:08] yeah. no surprise there. I think I stumbled on a thread about their mice in Linux when I got it a year and a half ago. [13:08] hi guys, any clue why I cant upgrade these packages? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12124580/ [13:09] robert45: use "apt-get dist-upgrade" [13:09] !info maria-db [13:09] Package maria-db does not exist in vivid [13:10] !info maria-db-client [13:10] Package maria-db-client does not exist in vivid [13:10] it's a replacement for mysql, iirc [13:10] !info mariadb-client [13:10] mariadb-client (source: mariadb-10.0): MariaDB database client (metapackage depending on the latest version).

There's nothing that looks like it on the wine bottle/prefix. just... mono and gecko stuff. [13:13] zykotick9 you rock, thanks [13:13] LonelyDanbo looks like you're out of luck, then [13:14] This is not impossible. it's just inconvenient and stupid. [13:14] What site can I upload screen shots to, in order to re-paste here for help? [13:14] Bluewolf, imgur.com [13:15] The data sent between the software and the USB device has to be simple. It's not like they would encode it. [13:15] LonelyDanbo contact Cooler Master and demand linux support [13:15] LonelyDanbo, set out a question on askubuntu, to reverse engineer the mouse/driver [13:16] LonelyDanbo, and ask in #winehq for further advice. [13:16] Can't I just monitor all data sent to a specific USB device? hm. or at least intended USB device, since the only thing that transmits the data is that stupid Windows program.

[13:39] upstart or systemd? [13:39] blib: systemd units [13:40] TJ-: is there a good tutorial on how to write services using systemd for 15.04 somewhere? [13:40] Bluewolf: that's the default gnome theme, not the dark version [13:40] blib: the systemd documentation itself [13:41] if a dark theme is what you want, you could search one at gnome-look.org Bluewolf [13:43] xangua: Exactly, the dark version does not work on it. I want to get it like the dark version, the thing is that I don't want other themes because their will be something about them which bugs me. The Gnome default is perfect, I just need to change the colour of that window and I'm sold. [13:43] what does `apt-get --assume-yes install` mean? [13:43] what is `--assume-yes` flag? [13:44] xangua: If it was like the text editor on the Dark version then that would be brilliant! :D [13:46] has anyone had to setup bonding to a force 10 switch? [13:48] Anyone know if nfsmount in the initrd on 14.04 is supposed to support nfs4? [13:51] dgbaley: I'd suspect it depends if the nfs4 kernel module is included [13:52] TJ-: It is but I still just can't get v4 to work, and I don't see anything in the source for nfsmount that lets you force a version number. [13:54] dgbaley: the init script for nfs is /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs [13:55] TJ-: yeah, but that uses a small c tool from klibc "nfsmount" to do the mounting [13:55] dgbaley: I see "nfsmount -o nolock ${roflag} ${NFSOPTS} ${NFSROOT} ${rootmnt} " which suggests ${NFSOPTS} is the only thing that could influence it, but there's no specific "-t type" there [13:56] dgbaley: I've booted over nfs v4 so I know it is possible. [13:58] How does one give permissions to a user to do sudo nginx reload without entering the password? [13:59] xangua: Any idea to change the colour of the window to the Dark version? [13:59] hi, I have a command that I want to run in a script and this command asks for a password. how can I pass the password as a parameter to this command when I invoke it in the script? [13:59] TJ-: ah, that's good to know, 14.04? [13:59] PCatinean: add an option to /etc/sudoers. See "man sudoers" [13:59] dgbaley: for PXE/TFTP/NFS boots of releases back to 8.04 I think [14:00] Yeah but those weren't v4, I don't think even 10.04 supported v4 at all [14:02] add it there you say [14:03] My Ubuntu won't update anymore. "apt-get upgrade" stalls on one line forever: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-35-generic [14:03] Anybody have suggestions? [14:04] wad try sudo ap-get -f install <-- means fix [14:04] I'll try it, thanks! [14:06] MonkeyDust, I had to kill the process (CTRL-C didn't work), and your command resulted in "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.". I ran that command, it it goes back to the same line, getting stuck again. :( [14:07] dgbaley: I'm not sure which NFS version the server used originally, but it's been using v4 for the past couple of years and boots the images still [14:07] wad: have you checked that your disk is not full? run "df -h" in a terminal [14:07] 1.5T available. [14:07] and you do not have a separate partition for /boot that is full either ? [14:07] * wad checks [14:08] /dev/sda1 236M 85M 139M 39% /boot [14:08] Plenty of space in /boot [14:08] Keep the ideas flowing! :) [14:08] TJ-: can I see your boot options for PXE? My v4 attempt looks like this: root=/dev/nfs ro nfsroot=172.20.66.2:/img/ubuntu-14.04 ip=dhcp quiet [14:09] TJ-: And in the mountd log, all I see are MNT3 requests [14:09] dgbaley: see http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/NetbootPxeLiveCDMultipleReleases [14:13] wad try sudo apt autoclean, first [14:13] ok === Bnaya_ is now known as Bnaya [14:14] I did the autoclean, and it seems to have done something. [14:15] Then I ran "apt-get -f install" and it hangs again, same line. :( [14:15] I can kill it with "kill -9". [14:15] wad: which version is this on? === aryan_ is now known as arunpyasi [14:15] 14 LTS 64-bit desktop. [14:16] hmmm, same as I am. then the kernel+modules dont take more than ~32mb together so it shouldnt be the /boot full issue [14:16] thats the most common thing for me [14:16] wad: could you run apt-get autoremove, just for kicks? [14:16] sure! [14:17] Ugh, same problem, hung on the same line: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-35-generic [14:17] that should remove unused kernels etc, freeing up space. but it probably isnt the issue [14:17] No, there were only two things to remove. I keep my system fairly clean. [14:17] wad I picked this up in this channel ... save it as 'repair', make executable and run it ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/12125046/ [14:18] Thanks. I'll look at that in a minute. Found something on ubuntuforums that I'm gonna try. [14:20] dgbaley: the nfs modules for v3 and v4 both seem to be in initrd by default; i'm not sure why the client side would be seeming to use v3 though [14:20] Ugh, a bunch of these commands I'm trying just get me to the same hang state. :( === Tsunami1 is now known as Guest87412 [14:21] wad can there be something wrong with the mirror you're using? [14:22] It seems to have downloaded updates just fine, there is something whacked with the initramfs-tools install. [14:22] Hi! [14:22] Looking on the googles, I think there is a directory missing somewhere. [14:22] Several people said they had this problem, and making a symlink to a directory fixed it. [14:22] If only I knew how to debug this, and see what the underlying problem is. [14:22] On my Lenovo TP E330, there was a terrible flicker -> eye damage. [14:23] Maybe there is a verbosity flag on apt-get.... [14:23] When I tried to find the problem, I found two controllers in /sys/class/backlight [14:23] hi i tried to install ubuntu 12.4.4 in my server its a raid 5 server but its showing an GRUB error after fineeshing installation [14:23] Or maybe there is a way to use dpkg directly (instead of the apt-get wrapper) to figure out the issue. [14:23] SopaXT keep your wuestion in one line, it's easier to read and repeat [14:24] question* [14:24] MonkeyDust, I will now describe it in one line. [14:27] wad do you have this file /var/lib/dpkg/info/initramfs-tools.postinst ? [14:27] * wad looks [14:27] I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E330, it had terrible screen flicker. One year of using it led to eye damage. Linking the trouble to backlight, I discovered two backlight controllers in /sys/class/backlight: intel_backlight and acpi_video0. I discovered that the PWM frequency doubles if I set intel's backlight to max_brightness. And then, to my wonder, the backlight switch still works, but no flicker is noticeable. Ideas? [14:27] ioria, doesn't exist. [14:27] wad no good [14:27] :( [14:28] hey [14:28] how to change system font? :D [14:30] Anyone ever work with Powerbroker Identity Services Open (PBIS Open)? I'm having an odd problem where Linux servers are not returning the correct AD groups of which a user is a member. [14:31] AbuDhar try qt4 settings [14:31] Anyone know how to put "apt-get install" into some sort of verbose mode? So I can debug into this issue? [14:31] WRStone3 there's also #ubuntu-server [14:31] wad are you trusty 10.0.4.3 ? [14:31] wad are you trusty 14.0.4.3 ? [14:31] Thanks, MonkeyDust, I'll have a look over there. [14:31] never mind. I found out :D [14:31] I think so. [14:31] Let me verify for sure. [14:32] dgbaley: have you tried adding the version into the mount options, as in "nfsroot=172.20.66.2:/img/ubuntu-14.04,vers=4" [14:32] AbuDhar how did you do it [14:32] I'm the LTS version of trusty. [14:32] wad cat /etc/issue [14:32] MonkeyDust, system settings and application appearance [14:32] I am using KDE [14:32] grub error showig "out of disk" after installation of ubuntu 12.4 [14:33] hey linux. just installed ubuntu 13.04 under wubi under windows 10. i booted ubuntu, and there's no user to login to. just "login" and it prompts you to put in your username followed by your password, which it rejected. I have no idea how to get into this computer. somebody please help? it didnt like me just inputting "ubuntu" and no password either [14:33] TJ-: yes, I have, but looking in nfsmount, it doesn't support that [14:33] so, I think I've asked this before but I've not found a solution to my problem; does anyone know what's wrong with my computer if internet in Ubuntu is very slow to download and browse, but my speeds were very good on Windows and are good on any other device I use the internet on? [14:34] I don't think it's to do with my modem, but it might be some dns error [14:35] Technobliterator, wireless, if i recall correctly? [14:35] iMin3Ra1n: 1) 13.10 is no longer supported, it reached its EOL date in 2014. 2) Wubi is not supported under Windows 8+, 3) Wubi is very hard to support and no one in this channel tends to suggest it for any installs. [14:36] Technobliterator here's a few speed boost tips http://paste.ubuntu.com/12125205/ [14:36] Wireless, yeah [14:37] alright, I will do those things, thanks === raj1 is now known as poppy === poppy is now known as newchap [14:37] Can anyone help with changing the colour of my window frame of LibreOffice, I'm gifted with faulty eyes and the bright screen irritates them, the dark mod of Gnome dose not seem to influence LibreOffice - I have manage to solve the page colour and its background as seen in this screenshot ( http://imgur.com/pgMXfyh )? [14:38] hola, donde encuentro un canal en español [14:38] helo [14:38] Bluewolf not exactly what you're asking, but redshift-gtk dims your screen [14:38] !es [14:38] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [14:41] MonkeyDust, I've done this [14:42] MonkeyDust: Thanks for the consideration, but I don't think it will help. The screen needs to be bright, but with a dark applications. White and grey on the screen strains my eyes. :( [14:42] Download speeds still hover at around 11 kbps [14:42] I'm fairly sure there's some bug or something that's causing it to be so slow, and I don't know what :/ [14:43] dgbaley: Learn something new every day. So the kernel doesn't support nfsv4 rootfs; my config must be using nfsv3 and I never realised since I set up the non-remote stuff to be v4 I assumed it all was [14:43] dgbaley: defaults to v2 unless there's vers=3 [14:44] Technobliterator, some wirelessdrivers are not optimum.. specially if it is wireless N: solution can be> trottle back to 54 mbit [14:44] Technobliterator, that can be set in networkmanager, or in some routers, macfilter, and connection type [14:44] dgbaley: or probably, version=3 ... I can't quite see how the internal kernel default NFS_ROOT_OPTIONS with vers=2 gets translated to 'version=2' for nfsmount's mount_call() [14:46] hey guys, I've been struggling with getting nvidia drivers working on my laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 (I have a GeForce 650M). I tried following 400 different tutorials and nothing makes cudaHashcat work. Any tips so I can end this frustration? [14:48] I will try doing that, but I don't know if it'll work [14:49] I don't think that's what's causing the problem because I didn't find anything online suggesting it doesn't work with Ubuntu [14:49] Jack64, there is an official ppa comming for nvidiadrivers still in testing, but nice ... http://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-official-ppa-graphics/ https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [14:51] is there a guide somewhere how to mount a cifs mount with systemd? [14:51] Can I repeat my message? [14:51] SopaXT, sure [14:51] OerHeks: thanks, I'll follow that see if I can get anywhere [14:52] Jack64, especially the new 352/355 driver [14:53] I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E330, it had terrible screen flicker. One year of using it led to eye damage. Linking the trouble to backlight, I discovered two backlight controllers in /sys/class/backlight: intel_backlight and acpi_video0. I discovered that the PWM frequency doubles if I set intel's backlight to max_brightness. And then, to my wonder, the backlight switch still works, but no flicker is noticeable. Ideas? [14:53] especially as in go for it or stay way from it? [14:55] Jack64, no, maybe those drivers are suited for cuda hash cat [14:55] I used the "Additional Controllers" menu to install the ones I currently have [14:55] still no luck [14:56] Jack64, that is oke, just add the ppa, and run that driver menu again [14:56] to reverse, if not working, use ppa-purge [14:56] !ppa-purge [14:56] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [14:56] OerHeks: ok, I'll do that, check back in a bit. thanks [14:57] Oh, something I found online suggests it's to do with "power management" that is causing my USB wifi to run slower [14:57] could that still be true in 15.04? [14:58] Technobliterator, yes, powermanagment, or hardware-encryption. depends on what chipset [14:59] any way I can stop that? [15:01] OerHeks: ok, ppa added and update done. now I pick 355 or 352, either one works? and after that, do I need something like optirun to run hashcat? [15:01] Jack64, optirun, i don't know about that :-( [15:02] KDE is beautiful :D [15:02] that is like a switching app that uses the dedicated GPU instead of the intel one [15:03] that used to be nvidia-prime AFAIK [15:05] Hello, I'm trying to create ubuntu remix, and i'm unable to login after successfully creating the image.\n (ERROR:.... [15:05] The error is related to authentication failure. [15:05] I can't find how to disable power management for USB anywhere? ?__? [15:05] Looking deeper in the logs, it looks like getty is trying to run as or identify the user "ubuntu" despite I've changed the default account to "docker" [15:06] Anyone know where the config is to get getty to run without vomiting all over the floor ? [15:06] markizano that was an emotional question... please rephrase [15:06] Technobliterator: either of these work? http://askubuntu.com/questions/80638/how-to-disable-auto-power-off-of-usb-devices-like-usb-mouse http://askubuntu.com/questions/185274/how-can-i-disable-usb-autosuspend-for-a-specific-device [15:07] MonkeyDust: yeah, my issue is getty (I suspect) is somehow trying to `id ubuntu' and it can't. I've only added 'docker' [15:07] but when the VM starts up on the live CD I've created, I get through the boot all the way to starting getty. [15:08] the first tells me powernap-action is not a command, though I'm not sure that's related to usb wifi? [15:08] http://pastebin.com/bJTandZ3 <- I've had to remove all the other ttyX.conf files from /etc/init [15:08] the solutions I've found to the USB wifi online keep giving me results like "command not found" [15:09] Technobliterator: oh wifi power management - iwconfig $WLAN power off [15:10] "iwconfig: unknown command "off"" [15:11] Hey, I'm getting "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages" when trying to grab some packages but apt-mark and dpkg show no holds === nullsign is now known as OS-17344 [15:11] I've run autoclean and update but I still get the error [15:12] finished a project [15:12] for the raspberry pi and cam module https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29AsBTVfF6g [15:12] K4k you too ... I picked this up in this channel ... save it as 'repair', make executable and run it ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/12125046/ [15:12] If I login single user mode, I get root - if I run getty manaully, no issues. If I proceed to `init 5' it returns authentication failure, with the logs saying: pam_unix(login:account): could not identify user (from getpwnam(ubuntu)) [15:13] yeah, it keeps telling me "off" is an unknown command...??? [15:13] MonkeyDust: Thanks, I'll have a look at that [15:13] Technobliterator: Did you change $WLAN to the name of your wireless interface ? [15:14] oh, no [15:15] WHY does paste.ubuntu.com require me to have a launchpad account to download the raw text version of a paste!? That's absolutely idiotic [15:17] okay, now it's telling me the device name printed on the USB is wrong... [15:17] MonkeyDust: Same error after running that repair script [15:18] Technobliterator: What do you get when you type: ip link [15:18] K4k, yes, that is a requirement, you can use it free without those option. [15:18] (think of spammers, or hackers to use it as a base) [15:19] 1 sec [15:19] trying to reconnect on desktop [15:21] im having an issue getting nvidia drivers to work. Not even sure where to start...Issue is starting to get me mad. Something about nvidia settings not finding the registry key? [15:21] I don't get why I'd need power management on usb devices at all on a desktop [15:21] OerHeks: installed 355 and got black screen at login [15:22] Packages are still broken. Tried using the broken package filter in synaptic as well, it doesn't show anything [15:22] OerHeks: going to have to remove nvidia-* and apt-get install nvidia-current (only way to get the login prompt back) [15:22] Is there a way to get something more useful to troubleshoot with besides "Something" is broken, this seems like a horribly vague message [15:23] K4k copy/paste the exact error message [15:23] Technobliterator: I would imagine it would be for something like USB external drives. But, I see your point. [15:24] MonkeyDust: [15:24] er... [15:24] MonkeyDust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12125628/ [15:24] I just don't get why I don't have the option to just completely disable it [15:24] what burning program does eliot use in mr.robot?

How do I figure out how did it start, or who started it? [15:25] cfhowlett: i need support in finding the burning tool which eliot uses [15:25] blib: pstree if you are lucky [15:26] havinagiggle, this is ubuntu support not TV/Movie trivia. look somewhere else. [15:26] Fuchs: init -- sh───uwsgi───5*[uwsgi───{uwsgi}] [15:26] are burning options in ubuntu now trivia? [15:26] blib: an init script then, see if one of the other scripts depend on it (grep could do, or one of the various boot chart thingies) [15:27] im having an issue getting nvidia drivers to work. Not even sure where to start...Issue is starting to get me mad. Something about nvidia settings not finding the registry key? [15:27] havinagiggle, "havinagiggle> what burning program does eliot use in mr.robot?" [15:27] Fuchs: in /etc/init.d I have uwsgi [15:27] is that it? [15:27] K4k in a terminal, type 'apt-cache show apt-offline' ... are you using two machines? [15:27] havinagiggle: You're specifically asking what burner was used in a TV show. We're more than happy to recommend a burning utility available in Ubuntu but we do not necessarily know the answer to your exact question. [15:27] K4k, on what ubuntu version is this? [15:27] blib: yes, but probably something else did start that. Unless you enabled it for your runlevel [15:27] MonkeyDust: Yes, two machines [15:27] Fuchs: service uwsgi status - says "Which one?" [15:27] OerHeks: 14.04 [15:28] K4k, seems like your ubuntu is not up2date [15:28] K4k: no problem, thanks - i will keep looking [15:28] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:28] so, is there no way to just disable power management for usb wifi? am I stuck with it? [15:29] I haven't found anything helpful by searching [15:29] Fuchs: any way to figure out how its started? [15:29] OerHeks: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade show now new packages [15:29] MonkeyDust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12125723/ [15:29] OerHeks: s/now/no [15:29] Technobliterator: Did you ever find the name of your wifi interface? [15:30] Nope [15:30] K4k, how about dist-upgrade ? [15:30] Try in the terminial: ip link [15:30] same [15:30] I'm confident that I'm on the latest available for 14.04 [15:31] drkjstr, http://pastie.org/10361650 [15:31] K4k, any PPA's? cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d [15:31] In ubuntu-remix, something is trying to identify ubuntu - not sure why, but it's only in runlevel(5). running in single-user mode and executing getty work fine. [15:31] err ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d [15:31] K4k, "latest available" would be obtained with sudo apt full-upgrade [15:31] Technobliterator: it is that wlan0 try the previous command with that as the name. [15:32] cfhowlett: upgrade + dist-upgrade is not the same? [15:32] markizano, ubuntu remix is not an official ubuntu .. [15:32] Could it be the lack of a hostname definition upon host provisioning ? I did update /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to reflect the desired hostname, but when booting into a VM, it stays "ubuntu" [15:32] K4k, they are not [15:32] sudio iwconfig wlan0 power off? [15:32] *sudo [15:32] Technobliterator: yes [15:32] OerHeks: and... ? [15:32] full-upgrade does not work here, only dist-upgrade ( wonder who came up with that) [15:32] drkjstr, "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." [15:33] MonkeyDust: This may be helpful... I accidentally ran apt-offline install bundle.zip on a deb bundle I had made but these were using old deb versions. This is when this error began. I've since gone and removed all deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives to clean that out [15:33] OerHeks: any other tips to solve the nvidia trouble aside from the ppa solution? [15:33] anyone got any experience with nvidia drivers not working? [15:33] I'm more concerned about when I startup my VM - it gives me "authentication failure" rather than a login prompt. [15:33] im having an issue getting nvidia drivers to work. Not even sure where to start...Issue is starting to get me mad. Something about nvidia settings not finding the registry key? [15:33] K4k dist-upgrade removes obsolete packages, upgrade doesnt [15:33] OerHeks, apt full-upgrade = apt-get dist-upgrade. still confusing as heck. [15:33] Something in getty's configuration, or a descendent of it is trying to getpwnam(ubuntu). [15:33] OerHeks: apt full-upgrade, not apt-get [15:33] I just need a clue as to what that might be and it should be good. [15:34] cfhowlett, mcphail thanks for the clarify [15:34] Technobliterator: Well, that's no good. I found this article, maybe it can help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/85214/how-can-i-prevent-iwconfig-power-management-from-being-turned-on [15:34] OerHeks: I just found that one yesterday :) [15:35] Jack64, no, what tutor are you using for that cuda hash cat ? [15:35] mcphail: OerHeks: I didn't know about apt instead of apt-get until just recently. === ubuntu is now known as Guest46212 [15:36] OerHeks: no tutorial, it was working and then broke after an apt-get dist-upgrade. Never fixed it since then cause I haven't needed it but I need it now [15:36] Hello! I just installed ubuntu in my PC using EFI. However it seems even though installation was successful only windows can be booted. I see no multiboot screen. Any idea why? [15:36] OerHeks: and I can't remember how to do it again [15:36] alright drkjstr, done all of those [15:36] hopefully it'll now be fine [15:36] thanks! [15:36] drkjstr, I seem to recall an announcement in one of the mail lists, but no major announcement. still getting used to it. [15:37] luc4 hold shift during boot, it will bring the grub menu [15:37] Technobliterator: I hope so too. Come on back if it doesn't though. [15:37] bring up* [15:38] MonkeyDust: nope, no grub. Only damn windows. [15:38] derek01: Have you looked at this?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [15:39] !uefi [15:39] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [15:40] OerHeks: are you answering to me? [15:40] luc4, that is the uefi manual, i have no experience with that myself. [15:40] OerHeks: read that already, still not working. [15:41] Tried boot repair, still not working. [15:41] luc4, does it work with secureboot disabled? [15:41] apt-get install build-essential says g++ is the wrong version... but g++ isn't installed. Trying to install g++ says g++ is the wrong version... but it's not installed... so... wat? [15:42] Boot repair told me to run a bcdedit command if windows was booted, but I cannot understand where to run that command. === EagleDelta is now known as dhollinger [15:42] OerHeks: no, it is already disabled. [15:48] for the following quote: "Using purge or --purge remove instead of remove does not reverse changes to existing systemwide configuration files provided by other packages or created manually by the user. However, sometimes such changes are undone by uninstalling the package (whether or not it's a purge rather than a remove)." ... by what mechanism of "uninstalling" are they referring? [15:49] ash_work, what command gave you that information? [15:49] [15:50] cfhowlett: its from a askubuntu post [15:50] an* [15:51] i don't know if this is normal, but i ran srm image*.jpg and gvfsd-mtp just SIGSEGV'd. is this common? [15:51] well, wifi download's still only 1mbps, but I haven't rebooted yet. that's still a massive improvement [15:51] ash_work, the lack of context makes it difficult your question. [15:52] cfhowlett: this was just general information about removing packages with sudo apt-get purge ... or sudo apt-get --purge remove ... [15:52] hi [15:52] ash_work start from the beginning, what brings you here [15:53] ash_work, I would suggest you read the man page for apt-get's replacement: man apt [15:53] 3.19.0-26-generic [15:54] I tried a boot repair disk, but no dice. Any chance of saving it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120966/ [15:55] MonkeyDust: You got any other ideas what's going on here? From all I can tell, the version of the package apt-get wants to install is not available but I'm connected directly to the ubuntu upstream repositories and I have no PPAs installed [15:56] why ubuntu 15.04 sudo apt-get install mysql ! then in the terminal can not insert chinese [15:57] but ubuntu 14.04 is ok [15:57] !cn | wangshidong, [15:57] wangshidong,: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [15:58] not for chinese [15:58] just thr insert commund [15:58] wangshidong, Is it something wrong with your Input method? [15:58] yes, well, I am having some general confustion but i can use my current circumstance as an example [15:59] I would like to install ubuntu 14.04 lts using encryption and lvm, but would like the root lv to be smaller than the entire contents of the hdd. Is this possible in the installer? [15:59] so, sometimes I'll install something and the package command works fine; in this case "docker" [15:59] no vim terminal is ok [15:59] so like, docker runs as though it is a command and gives feedback as such [15:59] however, something like start docker, doesn't find docker [16:00] there're not many people at #ubuntu-cn [16:00] maybe mysql5.6 id not for ubuntu15.04 [16:00] luc4, maybe this page is any help http://itsfoss.com/no-grub-windows-linux/ [16:00] OerHeks: I’ll have a look, thanks. [16:00] so someone was telling me to uninstall the package and I am not really familiar with uninstallation processes in general [16:01] or is it just the way around .. [16:01] i have change to ubuntu 14.04 ,and the mysql 5.5 works very well [16:01] Hey guys. Is there an IRC channel for the packagers for the Ubuntu Cloud-Archive Openstack stuff? Trying to include that in the Openstack project Kolla and need some contacts for questions [16:01] so I looked it up and someone posted about sudo apt-get --purge remove .... [16:01] wangshidong, 14.04 is long-term support. 15.04 is supported for only 9 months. [16:01] SamYaple: #ubuntu-server would be a good place to start [16:01] MonkeyDust: ^ [16:01] yeal [16:02] evilnebby: I haven't done an encrypted LVM that wasn't the full disk, myself. But, you should be able to do this via the manual partitioning section of the installer. [16:02] so i have go back to 14.04 [16:02] Pici: thanks [16:02] MonkeyDust: since I came across that post I didn't know what would be the best way to uninstall docker, although it would seem that case scenario is no longer relevant [16:02] MonkeyDust: but I still would like to know how to uninstall something should that need arise [16:02] is there any one use vim as java ide [16:03] any usefull plugin [16:03] drkjstr: thanks. I should clarify that I would like to use the entire disk, but I would only like the ubuntu-vg/root logical volume to occupy ~20% leaving the remaining 80% for other logical volumes in the same volume group [16:04] MonkeyDust: and I didn't know when reading that post if Eliah was mentioning 3 commands, or 2 (sudo apt-get purge ... or sudo apt-get --purge remove ...) when he says: "Using purge or --purge remove instead of remove does not reverse changes to existing systemwide configuration files provided by other packages or created manually by the user. However, sometimes such changes are undone by uninstalling the package (whether or not it's [16:04] evilnebby: I'm assuming it is similar to the manual method for unencrypted LVM, but you would just make a smaller partion and assign it the mount point of /. [16:06] MonkeyDust: Fixed it [16:06] evilnebby: I usually setup my installs with a smaller / than my /home. [16:06] So... apparently the offline system and this online system are using two different repository mirrors and the on the offline system uses has more packages available than the one this online system had available [16:07] \q [16:08] http://pastebin.com/BwdfJxFC [16:08] i am running this on ubuntu server 14.04.3 lts and i receive this output Update the packages list is not understoodtion --yes [16:09] what is wrong with that when i run /bin/sh /etc/cron.d/update.sh [16:09] Hi all, what could be causing repeated internet connection dropping on a wireless network (the wireless does not disconnect), which can be momentarily fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting in 14.04?

[Medium,Incomplete] [16:13] Should I uninstall vitualbox prior to this? [16:13] drkjstr: I may be thinking about this with incorrect assumptions :) If I want my entire disk to be in one VG, and that entire vg to be encrypted, wouldn't my partition table only have a single partition occupying the entire disk, with multiple logical volumes inside? My ultimate goal is to have ubuntu install as it would by default, but with the root logical volume not occupying the entire disk. [16:14] I'm transitioning a desktop computer to ubuntu for work cause my laptop died. There's 4 hard drives. I can see 2 in nautilus. one's the windows drive the other is ubuntu.

[17:23] After installation, everything works fine, the audio (headphones) too, but it seems that after a random amount of time, or reboots maybe, the audio from the headphones just disappears. [17:23] The system does recognize it when I plug them in, it also seems to be directing audio to it, but nothing is to be heard, the speakers still work fine. [17:23] I've already tried messing around in alsamixer, looking if stuff was muted there, no result. Also did things like putting model=auto / generic / asus in the alsa config file, but it didn't work. [17:23] Does anybody have any idea what could cause this? [17:23] Guest88186: Did you try to boot an earlier kernel? Sounds a bit like my problem. I can boot 3.16 but not 3.19 [17:24] hey guys my system continually drops into initramfs on initial boot.

Can I just throw a script in rc0.d and rc6.d? [17:49] lickalott: you shouldn't need to edit the grub menu though [17:49] SJr: you can add things to the runlevel commands to run whatever you wish [17:50] SJr: runlevel 6 is reboot [17:50] NilsR, once I find the kernel version that works best I can edit that menu to only have that available right?

But, I believe a different mount point is necessary. [18:11] for example saying the ubuntu system has been running last week 100% or any form of report in ubuntu [18:12] AEL-H: So, instead of / it could be at /opt, /opt2, and so forth.

[18:20] seems that the users PATH variable is not being set [18:20] I dont remember [18:20] lol [18:20] the command for channels list ? [18:20] fusroda, mv where? outside their home folder? [18:20] sudo -s [18:20] !adduser | fusroda [18:20] fusroda: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "sudo" - See !sudo [18:20] i think we need more information on your problem. are you logged in as that user? are you operating on files meant for your old user? does GUI work normal? [18:20] just use sudo -s to become root forever [18:21] be careful though! [18:21] jd_tech, ... please tell me youre being sarcastic [18:21] hmm [18:21] Daemoen, ? [18:21] don't operate as root unless you HAVE to. [18:21] also, running programs as root instead of your normal user, really really bad idea. [18:21] fusroda, before you go through all of that, do me a quick favor: ls -lah /home/youruser/.[a-z]* [18:21] ok [18:22] ( dont paste that here though, put it on pastebin/haste/etc ) [18:22] fusroda, if mv/cp within the home folder need sudo, you did something wrong. [18:22] on my VPS [18:22] well fusroda was asking how to not type sudo before every command [18:22] jd_tech, no, he was saying that he has to type it for *all* commands on his system to be able to use them [18:23] but I like to use sudo before apt-get [18:23] which indicates a PATH issue :) [18:23] jd_tech: that's a safe and good idea === NotANick_ is now known as NotANick [18:23] lol NotANick [18:23] Daemoen, ummm, that's weird [18:23] jd_tech, kadiro WRONG idea, not a solution as we don't know what is going on [18:24] jd_tech, not if he created the user the *really* old way; if he tried editing /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd/ and /etc/group manually, plus creating the home directory manually, all sorts of other steps have been overlooked [18:24] OerHeks: he said do a sudo in every command is safe than to be root all the time [18:24] its not the *new* way of doing it, but back in the old days, it was how it had to be done none the less [18:25] jd_tech, you are right [18:25] fusroda, see the Q from Gallomimia: how did you make that user? and " if mv/cp within the home folder need sudo, you did something wrong." [18:25] Daemoen, ah okay [18:25] theres an adduser command right? [18:26] much better [18:26] yea [18:26] jd_tech, granted; i think we are all making assumptions based on the vagueness of the issue, so it could be a number of things [18:26] Daemoen, true [18:26] you guys could be correct, it may be a perms issue on the home folder for instance; or it could be a path issue, or any number of things XD [18:26] hey.. anyone ever got to root a zenphone and install ubuntu on it?

[18:32] fusroda: can you tell me what user you're logged in as, what user you made, and what files you're trying to manipulate? [18:32] drkjstr: To answer your question. yes I did alter the colours using Tools --> Options --> Libre Office --> Appearance. But as you can see The window remains the same?

[19:35] gr1zzlybe4r: no [19:35] 14.10 is EOL [19:35] xangua: there's also 14.04 [19:36] justatech: it means you should contact the PPA maintainer for problems with that specific PPA [19:36] Also that === Shrooms` is now known as Shrooms [19:36] xangua: this URL: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mjblenner/hal-flash/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages -- seems to have the package that I'm looking for.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [19:36] MY question is: Could I just delete .gpg files from /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d, and let the update detect new ones? does this work? [19:38] What is the result if I have two different devices mounted to /? [19:38] uh....... you don't. [19:39] AEL-H, only with LVM you can do that, i guess. [19:39] not that i've ever tried it, but i don't believe you can mount two things to the same mount point [19:39] (correct me if i am wrong) [19:39] AEL-H: the 2nd mounted device will mask the first, hiding it and all directories/files on it [19:39] it's possible to mount one at a time and only use that one. but i've heard that really messes up any user settings kept in a common, separately mounted /home [19:40] bishops, no, it does not work that way, ubuntu does not auto fetch keys [19:40] It's Ok found the solution, thanks guys! [19:40] You can mount as many devices as you want to a mountpoint - only the last one will be visible [19:41] OerHeks: all is good found a a solution [19:41] Basically my problem is I want more space in my root folder in order to install something, what other things should I look to do? [19:41] TJ- that's a really interesting fact to know. can i then unmount them in any order and the top one on the stack will be the only one "there" ? [19:42] um.... autoclean apt, remove things you don't need? reduce the number of installed languages? [19:42] Gallomimia: I would assume so; I use the trick sometimes to hide default files in the lower file-system, as a safe fall back if the 'upper' mounts don't happen. For example, for /var/cache/ [19:42] there isn't much room to remove what space is already used.. [19:43] AEL-H: the most common solution is create a new file system for /var/ and move everything from rootfs/var/ into it [19:43] what sort of device are you mounting there now? can't you grow it? [19:43] *Logged in recently*: apt-get autoremove && apt-get clean [19:44] AEL-H: same goes for /home/ if that isn't already a separate file system [19:44] unpocoloco i think you want apt-get autoclean not clean?

[20:46] kkk [20:47] installed [20:48] ubuntu mate 15.04 [20:48] thinkpad s440 [20:49] the touchpad only works after a short delay. i think it is in power saving mode, because after it is "activated" it works perfectly fine [20:50] untrium, Cool, so the primary issue is the tap pad going to power saving? There are a number of wiki's, what is the computer model? [20:51] what do you mean by computer model? [20:51] untrium: is it definitely power-saving? Could it be the touchpad disable that happens when keyboard typing is detected, to prevent stray cursor movement if your wrist brushes the touchpad? [20:51] i dont know if its a powersaving problem, that was merely guessed by me [20:51] untrium: in other words does this occur at times when you are *not* using the keyboard? [20:51] it doesnt correlate with keyboard usage [20:51] yes it always happens [20:52] untrium: OK, that helps narrow things down. [20:52] it doesnt happen if i have a usb mouse connected and used the usb mouse 1 sec before [20:52] untrium: first thing is to discover how the touchpad is connected. It could be USB, or PS/2 [20:52] So I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. A few hours ago, I was trying to fix an issue (apt-get upgrade would hang on an initram step), and managed to toast my OS entirely. Now I've reinstalled. All hardware is identical, but for some reaosn, the second monitor won't wake up. It works fine, but Ubuntu isn't sending it a signal.

Are there any ubuntu masters around?? my initial boot drops me into busybox (initramfs). I've updated the gran_size and tried to force a younger/earlier kernel but it continues to do it. To me, it looks like it was getting caught on my encrypted partition but I have yet to find a way to unencrypt fill disk encryption (seems easier to just reload). Does [20:59] anyone have any knowledge of this issue? [20:59] Guys, is there any guide for increasing performance with open source driver? [21:00] TJ: did you get it? [21:01] untrium: didn't get notified you'd pasted it because you didn't prefix with my nickname. looking now [21:02] TJ: sry, not used to irc [21:02] untrium: so it is PS/2: "[ 110.197] (II) config/udev: Adding input device TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint (/dev/input/mouse1)" [21:02] seeing it [21:02] TJ: seein it* [21:03] untrium: oh and you also have "[ 110.196] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/mouse0)" [21:03] So, you have a tracpoint and a touchpad? [21:03] thanks [21:03] TJ: the trackpoint works without this "powersaving issue" [21:03] I figured it out... problem in my config [21:04] 14.04 This keeps happening... after kernel upgrade laptop won't boot. Boots fine with previous kernel. [21:04] untrium: that's fine, we're trying to identify the reports in the log that only apply to the touchpad [21:04] Whoo, that was exciting, TJ. But now it's working! (Today I Learned: don't switch monitor cables all around with the system running.)

[21:05] wileee, yeah I fixed it last time. Uninstalled and re-installed the kernel upgrade [21:05] TJ: something something wrong? maybe [21:06] lickalott, a question. Should I rephrase it? [21:06] no sir. I wasn't sure if you were responding to my issue or discussing a similar issue. [21:07] i keep droping into busybox on initial boot. However, I am forcing it to boot on 3.16 and it is still happening. [21:08] untrium: what is strange is, if it were USB I'd immediately suspect the USB port being put into power-save sleep... but that would be very unusual for a PS/2 port. The same port type the keyboard uses === aryan_ is now known as arunpyasi [21:08] Just trying to figure out why it's doing it. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't my wife's laptop :-P [21:08] i'm at the point of trying a different distro [21:08] i don't know what else to do. [21:09] lickalott, there's not a better distro really, especially not if you are new [21:09] OpenSorce: separate /boot/ file-system, running out of space, maybe? [21:09] new to ubuntu (as a primary OS) not new to *nix [21:10] TJ: could it be something which seems for me to be a powersaving problem but is instead a poorly configuered touchpad? like the acclereation is set to a very low value, and it does max out, but before it maxes out i cant see a movement? [21:10] TJ-, doubtful. Single partition 4% used [21:10] TJ: [ 110.196] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) acceleration profile 1 [21:10] [ 110.196] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000 [21:10] lickalott: i am not the encryption guy, but without encyption i would have said to check if you got the right kernel and headers meta packages installed. (needed to build all the modules) [21:10] lickalott: you have a LUKS-encrypted file-system for rootfs? [21:10] I ran fedora for years (no issues) and BSD before that. [21:10] Hello guys, I have a problem with Conky. It probably launches another instance of the program and then it looks horrible, overimposed. I seem to be able to replicate it when I hit my hotkey I set up for moc. [21:10] OpenSorce: OK; that is the usual cause. "df -h" will show for certain [21:10] How can I prevent it from happening? [21:11] TJ: also it adds the touchpad to /dev/input/event5 and /dev/input/mouse0 [21:11] TJ-, it is full disk encryption (via initial setup) so I'd assume yes? [21:11] TJ-, /dev/sda1 291G 9.4G 267G 4% / [21:11] This system has an nvidia video card. Right now it seems to be using the (very slow) default drivers. I think before it was running noveau drivers. In the pass, I've messed with NVidia proprietary drivers, and I never got them to work. [21:11] k1l_, how would I verify? [21:12] k1l_, whats the latest kernel package for 14.04? [21:12] lickalott: you can boot that system with a specific kernel? than check with "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" what packages are installed [21:12] *if you know [21:13] whats the best way to encript an existing directory? the directory is actually a drive thats mounted to / [21:13] lickalott: depends on what enablement stack you run. [21:13] lickalott: there is a 3.13, a 3.16 and a 3.19 one. the 3.16 is the 14.10 backports, and the 3.19 is the 15.04 backports branch [21:14] hows 3.16.0-46.42 k1l_ [21:14] compdoc: backup the whole drive, then use dd to fill the drive with random numbers and after that use luks to encrypt the drive [21:14] but the generic linux kernel image shows 3.16.0.46.37 [21:14] untrium: I'm not sure without seeing it for myself. There's some possible hints/clues/tests you can do from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [21:16] k1l_, first message /hows/shows [21:16] OpenSorce: is the system booted with a good kernel? Take a look at the installed kernels and supporting initrd.img files, see if the sizes look 'wrong' compared to others: list most recent first with: "ls -latr /boot/" [21:18] lickalott: linux-generic-lts-utopic would be the meta package for that 3.16 kernel branch [21:19] lickalott: if you have full disk encryption the 'cryptsetup' tool will be installed in the initrd. In addition "/conf/conf.d/cryptroot" will contain the rootfs entry from the system's "/etc/crypttab" [21:19] TJ-, k1l_ I am leaning towards the LUKS encryption being an issue (based on log research, etc...) It seems to me it's timing out. At times I don't even see the grub menu to choose "advanced options" or the like. [21:19] TJ-, it's running on 3.13.0-61 which has an initrd.img of 18767747 the one that won't boot 3.13.0-62 is 18766663. That looks about right. [21:19] lickalott: you can check for those from busybox [21:19] TJ: i used xinput --test 10 (device number of the touchpad is 10) and found something odd. the "powersaving" issue is very strong if i move the horizontally and is weak, meaning it doesnt take long to activate the touchpad, if i move vertical [21:19] TJ-, am I looking for something specific there? [21:20] OpenSorce: I agree. Have you tried booting using the "Recovery" option on the "Advanced" menu from GRUB's boot manager menu (hold down shift at boot-time) ? [21:20] lickalott: well, first of all, ensure those are there and the cryptroot file has something sensible in it [21:20] TJ-, yeah same result. Right back to system boot screen and to the grub menu :-( [21:21] TJ-, (/etc/crypttab) sda5_crypt UUID=e395c3fa-5e1c-4ecd-ade7-b924e20a17a2 none luks,discard [21:21] untrium: that is a clue for sure... not sure what it tells us though! [21:22] TJ-, and don't get me wrong... I can fix it. I use remove the new kernel and everything related and re-install it like last time. Just wanted to figure out why this has happened three times and how to correct it. [21:23] s/use/can [21:23] this is driving me crazy; are there shortcut command equivalents to dragging a window directly up, left, right etc? (ie: on Windows it's windows_key + arrow) [21:23] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131088/ does this help? xinput list [21:24] lickalott: right, but you also need to check what is in the initrd.img. Identify which one is in use ("ls /boot/initrd.img*") then extract its contents so you can check them: "mkdir /tmp/initrd && cd /tmp/intrd && zcat /boot/initrd.img-$VERSION | cpio -id" then take a look in "conf/conf.d/" [21:24] also, I can't stand alt+tab and waiting for a group of windows to expand... I'm sure there is a better way to access it... but clearly its not like ctrl+alt+tab or something [21:24] all from busybox through right TJ- or can I do that right now? [21:24] OpenSorce: it sounds like the kernel image somehow gets corrupted first time around, doesn't it? [21:25] ash: ctrl+alt+number of position and alt+; to go through different windows of one program [21:25] lickalott: those instructions I just gave can be done from the booted system. They replicate what you'd see if dumped to Busybox [21:25] TJ-, exactly... I blame pintrest! [21:25] copy all. thanks sir! [21:25] lickalott: there's a file-system inside initrd.img ... those instructions extract it into /tmp/initrd/ [21:26] TJ-, lol, j/k okay. I'll fix it and tell her to let me know the next time it asks for updates [21:26] OpenSorce: I think your best chance of figuring this out is next time a kernel upgrade is available, do it from the command-line and check for any errors reported from the update-initramfs and/or update-grub steps. You could even repeat those manually [21:27] OpenSorce: as in do "sudo update-initramfs -u" and "sudo update-grub" [21:27] TJ-, yeah that's what I'm thinking [21:27] OpenSorce: if GRUB seems to try to load vmlinux but then you get returned to the GRUB menu without the system crashing and rebooting... that tells us GRUB cannot find the kernel filename it is told [21:28] TJ-, I'm from Slackware... I'm used to manual :-P [21:28] OpenSorce: if however GRUB loads a kernel which crashes and causes a reboot, then that tells us the kernel image is corrupted [21:28] TJ-, yep [21:29] Any ideas why having terminal=false makes matlab fail to launch after a couple of seconds on the splash screen, but terminal=true works fine? http://paste.pound-python.org/show/Z7q2wf3Uc9zEJfeNQTbw/ [21:31] hi guys, I believe my software RAID died, can someone help me how to diagnose if the drive is completely dead? This is the mdadm output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131170/ [21:31] TJ-, thanks for the help [21:32] robert45: " 1 8 32 - faulty spare /dev/sdc" [21:32] TJ- yes, but does that entirely mean the drive is dying? I couldnt issue a smartctl to confirm this, not sure if its related [21:32] TJ-, first off I appreciate your time/assistance [21:33] here is from conf.d - target=sda5_crypt,source=UUID=e395c3fa-5e1c-4ecd-ade7-b924e20a17a2,key=none,rootdev,lvm=ubuntu--vg-root,discard [21:33] target=sda5_crypt,source=UUID=e395c3fa-5e1c-4ecd-ade7-b924e20a17a2,key=none,lvm=ubuntu--vg-swap_1,discard [21:33] robert45: your kernel log errors show the device's first and last sector fail to be read, which suggests total device failure - unless there's a cables/controller issue [21:33] here is from /etc/crypttab - sda5_crypt UUID=e395c3fa-5e1c-4ecd-ade7-b924e20a17a2 none luks,discard [21:33] neither match [21:33] *completely [21:33] lickalott: hang on... that looks like cryptroot has 2 entries for the same device? [21:34] yes sir [21:34] lickalott: don't worry about the different syntax between the 2 files - someone thought that was a bright idea! The values are the important part and they match [21:34] keviv: see if that helps:; http://askubuntu.com/a/141508/31260 [21:34] one shows swap and the other shows root [21:34] TJ- I see, thanks. So basically I need to do 1) "mdadm --remove faulty" 2) shutdown the server and replace the drive 3) re-add the drive after reboot, is that correct? [21:35] lickalott: in cryptroot (from the initrd/conf/conf.d/cryptroot) there should only 1 entry... did you just show me there are 2 or was that a paste error? [21:36] robert45: You've got it :) [21:36] -xinput watch-probs doesnt work [21:36] sry for spamming, i have this problem now for 1-2 weeks and cant work with ubuntu mate unless this is solved [21:36] and i really dont want to go back to the botnet [21:36] that was a direct copy and paste from the output in my terminal. [21:36] lickalott: OK... just to avoid doubt on my part, can you put the contents of both files in a pastebin? [21:36] after I followed the instructions you provided. I did a more cryptroot [21:36] !paste | lickalott [21:36] lickalott: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:36] absolutly [21:37] lickalott: thanks :) [21:37] TJ- thanks man, you rock! [21:37] Why does `date -d '00:00:00 -9 seconds' '+%H:%M:%S'` return 05:00:01 instead of 23:59:01? [21:37] untrium: I'm sorry I can't be more help... usually I can think of something but I think my brain is fried right now [21:37] Or alternately, what --date format can I use to subtract N seconds from a time in %H:%M:%S format? [21:37] TJ-, http://pastebin.com/Kp6wm883 [21:38] can you advice a channel which could help? === klagid is now known as klagid_89 [21:40] untrium, whats your issue? mousepad won't work? [21:40] lickalott: OK, having 2 lines in cryptroot is definitely wrong and is likely the cause of your issue. So, we need to find out why, which means testing the scripts that write that file [21:40] * lickalott is ready [21:40] untrium: I think this is likely the best channel, because so many people use it [21:41] lickalott: are you familiar with how the initrd.img is created? [21:41] no sir [21:41] lickalott: mousepad works, but it has a short delay till i can use it [21:41] TJ: ok, thank you [21:41] after boot up or after you touch it? [21:43] lickalott: OK... bit of background. When a kernel is installed, or some change that affects boot-time kernel config is made, the command "update-initramfs" is executed. It calls 'hook' scripts installed by things like cryptsetup, which in turn generate/copy files to be included in the initrd, which update-initramfs wrap into a mini-filesystem inside /boot/initrd.img-$VERSION [21:43] lickalott: We can run update-initramfs manually in 'verbose' mode so it tells us what it is doing, and examine that to see if it gives clues. This command will capture the output to a log file which you can put in a pastebin: [21:44] lickalott: "sudo update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r) |& tee /tmp/initrd.log" ... when it is done you can paste it using "pastebinit /tmp/initrd.log" [21:44] ok [21:45] untrium: I still wonder if it is the keyboard disable functionality causing this... worth checking if that setting still exists in the control panel for the touchpad [21:46] lickalott: hang on! I got that command wrong... there won't be output!! [21:46] lickalott: Let's add -v so we get verbose output! "sudo update-initramfs -vu -k $(uname -r) |& tee /tmp/initrd.log" ... when it is done you can paste it using "pastebinit /tmp/initrd.log" [21:47] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131332/ [21:47] lickalott: mmmm data :) [21:47] lol [21:48] in assuming that we'd be looking for SATA controller module issues or kernel issues, would I be wrong? [21:49] how can i install a newer kernel? [21:49] or at least get newer drivers [21:49] TJ: i disabled the touchpad-keyboard option in the control panel. same as before [21:49] version 3.1 is super old [21:49] lickalott: line 598 onwards show what I'd expect to see "Calling hook cryptroot" [21:49] goddard: Newer drivers for what? [21:49] bekks: my trackpad [21:49] untrium: that rules that out then, one would think [21:49] goddard: Whats the output of "uname -a"? [21:49] bekks: i have a 2015 razer blade and I have no gesture support [21:50] 3.19.0-26-generic [21:50] goddard: Thats version 3.19.0-26, not 3.1 :) [21:50] bekks: still old [21:50] bekks: version 4 is out and stable [21:51] I'm setting up a new web dev environment. It's easy enough to run apache on ssd and point to files on a rotational drive, but I can't seem to find a good resource on doing so with mysql. is it possible to run mysql on ssd and keep the databases on another drive? [21:51] bekks: it also supports my trackpad [21:51] lickalott: In theory the new initrd.img should have a cryptroot with only one line in it, but I want to expand the output from update-initramfs first, to be sure what is going on [21:52] how to start a network isolated shell? [21:52] goddard: Ubuntu isnt a distro which will ship the latest and greatest all the time. [21:52] goddard: 3.1 is not the same as 3.19 [21:52] k1l_: thanks for pointing that out a second time it was a typo [21:52] bekks: still how can I fix my touchpad issue? [21:53] goddard: due to the release system (with the freeze date prior to the release date) a 4.x kernel will first be running in 15.10 [21:53] lickalott: I'm testing it here to be sure the changes give me what I need [21:53] k1l_: thats good [21:53] ciao [21:53] k1l_: so I have to wait a few more months until I can get this touchpad working? [21:53] c'è qualche italiano? [21:54] goddard: You need some userland software like touchegg, not a new kernel. [21:54] TJ-, still two entries on my side. [21:54] !it | clemente [21:54] !it | clemente [21:54] clemente: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:54] bekks: how do you know that? [21:54] lickalott: right. I've got a change you can make so we can capture what the script is doing [21:54] goddard: By a 10s google journey, for finding out wether touchpad gesture support is provided by the kernel at all. [21:55] goddard: in here we support what is officially released by ubuntu. so yes. you could try the 15.10 alpha or try a !mainline kernel or compile the module for the touchpad yourself or see if there is already a package solving that issue [21:55] thank you [21:55] this system has only been up for a month-ish. Would it just be easier to rebuild with no encryption? [21:55] lickalott: before that, can you "pastebinit /etc/fstab" ? [21:55] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131401/ [21:55] lickalott: you may have found a bug... it would be better to be sure why it happens. I've used FDE for several years and never seen this [21:55] bekks: so I am so stupid I can't do a google search? thanks appreciate the soft insult [21:56] goddard: No one said you are stupid or anything like that. _I_ googled it, since _I_ didnt know which component provides the functionality in question. [21:56] k1l_: thats great and I don't mind waiting, but I would like to be able to get it working for me now [21:57] k1l_: how do I find out what part of the new kernel makes it work and put that into my system now? I am not a linux developer I am just a user [21:57] goddard, what laptop exactly? [21:57] goddard: before something is "in" the kernel there it is already "there" [21:57] Razer Blade 2015 [21:57] goddard: And if you feel yourself being insulted by other people googling for THEIR knowledge, I really feel sorry for you, and will not trying to help you, for not insulting in any way. [21:57] lickalott: Are you comfortable using a terminal text editor, or do you prefer GUI? We need to add a line to a system script [21:58] im good cli [21:58] *with [21:58] bekks: i never insulted you I just wanted help to fix the issue not learn how knowledge everyone else is [21:59] goddard, ah, a fresh machine, you might be right and try a newer kernel from the mainline ppa .. i noticed this page some days ago ( not for myself) https://alexcabal.com/get-a-working-touchpad-on-a-14-razer-blade-running-linuxubuntu/ [21:59] TJ-, I have a telecon at 3 my time so if I become quiet or untimely, thats why. [21:59] !mainline [21:59] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [21:59] hey, I’ve got ubuntu 12.04 running on AWS, and for some reason .bashrc is not executed on login. I checked and I have what seems to be the correct .profile file but it seems that this might not be loaded too. Anybody has any idea how this could be? [22:00] OerHeks: thanks [22:00] lickalott: OK. which ever your preferred text editor is. I prefer vim, so I'd do "sudo vim /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot" move to the 2nd line (which is blank) add add "set -x" by pressing I to insert mode, typing the text, then Esc to get back to command mode, then :wq [22:00] goddard: I did not say you insulted me, you said I insulted you, which I didnt. Now lets move on. === klagid_89 is now known as klagid [22:00] goddard, v4.1-rc2-vivid would be the latest === aryan_ is now known as arunpyasi [22:00] lickalott: you'll end up with 3 lines with #!/bin/sh set -x PREREQ="" [22:01] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131428/ [22:01] lickalott: perfect! now lets capture another log [22:02] lickalott: "sudo update-initramfs -vu -k $(uname -r) |& tee /tmp/initrd.log" ... when it is done you can paste it using "pastebinit /tmp/initrd.log" [22:02] lickalott: now the cryptroot shell script will output every line it executes. That will show how it is putting 2 lines into cryptroot === avinson_ is now known as avinson [22:03] an error occured please try again ( youtube flashplayer ) [22:04] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131444/ [22:04] lickalott: great, lines 602 onwards are what we want [22:06] TJ-, I failed spanish in highschool.... :D [22:07] lickalott: :) ... line 785 is writing a line to cryptroot, you should recognise that. This line includes 'rootdev' [22:08] lickalott: and the bad line is at 2333 [22:09] lickalott: which Ubuntu release is that you are using ("lsb_release -r") ? [22:09] so the vg-swap being added is causing the issues? [22:09] 14.04 [22:10] i don't show a swap in df -h [22:10] ^ not sure if that means anything [22:10] lickalott: yes, because the target= entry is the /dev/mapper/XXXX filename to put the encrypted device on... which looks like rootfs gets mounted to /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt and then it goes and puts swap there as well, or some such. Whatever it does, swap should NOT be in the cryptroot in initrd.img, so there is a bug somewhere [22:11] i don't like being "the bug guy" [22:11] * lickalott sighs [22:11] lickalott: can you show me "pastebinit <( sudo lsblk -f )" [22:12] so submit the bug and rebuild? SHould I try again with LUKS or try without it. [22:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131489/ [22:12] lickalott: I use 14.04 with very complex LUKS configs and never had this happen. It is certainly not something I've ever seen for a default FDE install either. [22:13] lickalott: WOW! that is amazing, never seen that before! sda5_crypt has 2 devices on it [22:14] lickalott: now show me "pastebinit <( sudo blkid )" please [22:14] k...so newb when it comes to submitting bugs. [22:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131496/ *note* elements is an external [22:15] lickalott: It's weird. I can figure out what it is doing, and even almost why it might make the mistake, but not sure how it would happen in practice! [22:15] dude i've been fighting this for weeks. [22:16] i just kept ctrl-alt-del until it would give me the grub menu. [22:16] lickalott: summary: encrypted partition /dev/sda5, contains LVM VG ubuntu, which has 2 LVs vg-root and vg-swap_1. [22:16] right [22:16] lickalott: let me do a launchpad bug search - surely this has been reported before! [22:17] i'll keep everything up/ready in case. [22:18] lickalott: I'm looking through this list: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup === ubuntu_user is now known as rcw2 [22:20] hello [22:22] an error occured please try again ( youtube flashplayer ) [22:22] kadiro, that is pretty normal these days [22:22] i runniing ubuntu gnome 14.04 kernal 3.19 and when i go to >> system settings > displays and set my monitors up (the left monitor should be set as the left monitor) and then i reboot my computer the settings revert and the left monitor is set as the right monitor again. how do i make my settings persistent? === it is now known as Guest88259 [22:22] OerHeks: that's happen to you too?

I'll work back through the initrd.img log you captured [22:26] sonicx, why? [22:26] same think throught vlc, what's happen [22:27] kadiro: bad flash file [22:27] k1l_: I have ppepper installed [22:27] i am talking baout your video [22:27] *about [22:28] from a link?

[22:28] well I try ed zorin and it would not work and now I'm trying xubuntu same thing it said it is working but it is not [22:28] can you simply grep | cat [22:29] catalase: cat only displays [22:29] catalase: grep ... ... > textfile [22:29] can you simply grep | cat > [22:29] catalase: grep term filename > resultfile [22:32] lickalott: OK, I've figured out why it is there.

Didn't see your "-a" there. I dunno. network card loose? [22:44] Raziel86: "lscpi -nn" will list all PCI devices, and from that you should be able to identify the network device(s) [22:44] sonicx: see if that help pages helps you. seems like its still loading the "wrong" driver by default for that cards [22:45] TJ- just a second [22:45] Raziel86: my typos! try "lspci -nn" :D [22:45] ok thx u I will look at it n now :) [22:46] Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 [22:46] I use album (the software) on http://bilder.henjoh.se/ to show pictures.

[22:53] I forget.. [22:53] Or* im [22:53] In*.. Damn it [22:54] in freenode [22:54] TJ- Yeah we did grept b44 * while in modprobe.d and got the following. http://pastebin.com/LVMZ8VxD [22:56] -Raziel86 That sounds a lot like what TJ was talking about. Check this link here for more info, at least what I found: [22:56] TJ- we tried deleting blacklist-bcm43.conf and it says no such file or directory. [22:56] askubuntu.com/questions/14970/broadcom-bcm4401-b0-100base-tx-issues [22:57] Raziel86: "sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf" [22:58] Raziel86: you can then manually load the module with "sudo modprobe b44" [22:58] TJ- we tried that and it says no such file or directory when trying to remove that file [22:58] Raziel86: you must have mistyped. grep clearly shows the filename [22:59] Razile86- it looks like that link says to comment out a blacklist line, rather than delete a blacklist.conf file. It might just be in a different file in your distro or version. What's your ubuntu version raziel86? [22:59] TJ- I had to go into /etc/modprobe.d and I had her do ls -a and it's not in there. [22:59] Hey.. msg alis list playstation4 says there are 60 channels. But doesn't name them. How do I get the list? [22:59] It's actually mint 17.2 [23:00] Raziel86: Then the file has been deleted already. If so, do "sudo modprobe b44" and that should load the module [23:00] baywords ask in #freenode [23:00] aha! The culprit! :) [23:00] When she does that it just stays on that line and never returns to another line [23:00] TJ- ^ [23:00] Raziel86: aha... OK... so there's a bigger problem here! [23:01] <_jlove> Anyone here used canonical’s cloud-init (mostly via AWS EC2) before? Having some weirdness with packages installing [23:01] Raziel86: does Ctrl+C get back to the prompt? [23:01] baywords: add " / " before msg [23:02] Yes it does [23:02] how do you access the grub menu on startup? I was told to hold shift but also that the grub menu wont appear if there are not multiple OSes on the machine [23:02] I want to add nomodeset to the grub menu [23:02] just press arrow buttons [23:03] TJ- If the file has been deleted how come it still shows up when we grep 44 * [23:03] Raziel86: good. I *think* the install of the b43 broadcom driver has messed things up [23:03] columbobaas: thanks [23:03] We uninstalled sta [23:03] sorry TJ- I'm back [23:03] also, where are you supposed to add acpi_osi= ? [23:03] Raziel86: that depends if you used the command *exactly* as I wrote it [23:04] ash_work: to the kernel command line ("linux ....") in the grub boot menu [23:04] anybody have any recent 15.? version documents for installing a full version of ubuntu on a usb drive for a mac while on a mac? [23:04] We were never able to delete it. It says it doesn't exist when we try to delete it. It doesn't show in the directory only in grep [23:04] ash_work, arrpw buttons are when you get to the grub edit, try esc or shift when powering on, test the commands for now. [23:05] lickalott: I figured out why the 2 entries get put in cryptroot. It's because both are inside the crypted device. However, the swap doesn't need to be available at initrd time so it is a definite bug for it being there [23:05] TJ-: behind linux... like acpi_osi=linux /boot/vmlinuz-... ro quiet splash nomodeset [23:06] lickalott: What I propose you do, as a test, is to manually edit cryptroot so it only has the rootdev line, rebuild the initrd.img and try booting with it. If that works we know that was the problem. If it doesn't work, we know that is incidental and something else is wrong [23:06] ash_work: preferably at the end of the existing options, not at the start of the line [23:06] TJ- thank you for helping out. She has to leave. I may be on later. [23:07] TJ-: so linux /boot/vmlinuz-... ro quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi [23:07] TJ-: so linux /boot/vmlinuz-... ro quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi= * [23:07] ash_work: correct [23:07] TJ-: thanks! [23:08] my desktop has ports for sdcards. i installed a sdcard. it shows up in disk anylizer and fdisk but its not in my media dir [23:08] it says contents are unknown 0.o [23:08] TJ-, i gotta blast. Can you do me a huge favor? I only captured (in a document) the process to extract the .img (conf/conf.d) Can you copy and paste the initrd.log line for me and I will try to manually edit later? [23:08] ash_work: and to see what exactelly happen when trying nomodest try to remove quiet splash [23:08] lickalott: edit the cryptroot file where you extracted it ("/tmp/initrd/conf/conf.d/cryptroot") then ensure you're in the directory /tmp/initrd/ and do "find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../initrd.img" [23:09] pm please so I don't lose it. my logs aren't very long. [23:09] lickalott: ok === Kai_ is now known as _Kai_ [23:11] After the kernel upgrade in Ubuntu 15.04, my fglrx-drivers don't work anymore. Known problem? [23:12] columbobaas: fglrx from the amd site? [23:12] no [23:12] is linux-generic installed? [23:13] I always installed it via Updates and sources [23:13] <_Norns> hello, is the fglrx issues from new update resolved, if anyone knows? [23:14] uhh [23:15] what i know about the fglrx "issues" they are resolved by the purchase and installation of an nvidia card. remove old one, and fglrx drivers before install. :( [23:15] it didn't seem to save nomodeset [23:15] <_Norns> sorry, accidentally shut it [23:15] are you supposed to do something other than ^x / F10 ? [23:16] <_Norns> well, in new upgrade somethign with amd and fglrx causing conflicts. Had to roll back to previous [23:16] or maybe it was because it shutdown imporperly? [23:16] ash_work: depends what file you're editing and whether you have permissions to do it [23:17] Now I have Ubuntu 14.04.3 and it works perfectly [23:17] that one in the beginning [23:17] Gallomimia: the grub file [23:17] some things you have to run a command to make it take changes, some things you have to reboot. some things you need root permissions [23:17] ash_work: ctrl+X or F10 is the same [23:17] yeah. the grub file needs to get installed by.... something. i'm fuzzy at that point. mine's quite broken [23:17] ash_work: but for testing if work you must to edit grub.cfg [23:19] good night all [23:19] Hi [23:19] Oh hai. [23:20] I've got a small question, my grub menu is messed up [23:20] memtest is the first option and ubuntu the last one [23:20] how can I reverse the order [23:20] ash_work: editing the kernel command-line at boot-time is for testing/manual one-off. To make the change permanent edit "/etc/default/grub" and include the option(s) in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX then update the "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" by doing "sudo update-grub" [23:20] Koning: grub-customizer [23:20] no no no [23:20] yeah, noooo, yeaaaah, nooooooo [23:20] in that program it shows up right [23:21] but in the grub menu it doesn't [23:21] Koning: what did you do before that grub menu got messed up? [23:22] sudo grub-install /dev/sda [23:22] after eOS's grub overwrote the ubuntu one [23:22] Koning: the GRUB menuentry order is controlled by the order of execution of the scripts in "/etc/grub.d/" - filenames start with a number. lower numbers are executed first [23:22] ah, I'll check those files TJ- [23:23] Koning: here's the expected config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131986/ [23:23] Somebody else problems with latest upgrade with the non-free amd drivers? (fglrx) [23:24] Koning: ignore "10_custom_linux_menu_sort" that is my own customisation that puts -rc kernels last in the list [23:24] columbobaas: was there an issue with the install? can you show the logs in /var/log/apt ? [23:25] TJ- this is what I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131998/ [23:26] k1l_: yes indeed, always a system error. unable to install fglrx. But I did a clean install so i cant show you the logs. After reboot: i came in low resolution mode. [23:26] Koning: that isn't an Ubuntu install! [23:26] I am running ubuntu though [23:26] ubuntu and eOS [23:26] Koning: but what you have there is nothing like what Ubuntu installs [23:27] is there a way to nuke what I have and rebuild a clean boot config? [23:27] Koning isn't there an option in recovery mode in your grub menu? [23:27] columbobaas: well, its hard to get to the cause of that issue without having that logs anymore [23:27] Koning: so you are in eOS right now? [23:28] no, I'm in ubuntu right now [23:28] grub isn't broken, it's just that the order is all wrong [23:29] Koning: so you definately did manual changes there [23:29] k1l_: I thought i read: no screens found in the log. [23:29] I didn't but grub customizer might have [23:29] columbobaas: we will not solve that issue without that logs [23:29] Koning: something has been altering the /etc/grub.d/ scripts totally. First, remove whatever did that and hope it returns things to normal [23:30] TechMonger, maybe this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/95391/how-do-i-mount-an-sd-card [23:30] Koning: after that, delete the files from /etc/grub.d/ and reinstall the package: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-common" then "sudo update-grub" [23:30] k1l_ after that: i compiled kernel 4.1 and tried again but no result. But Ubuntu 14.04.3 works fine and i can try again in october maybe. [23:32] TJ- reinstall isn't recognized [23:32] nvm [23:32] typo [23:36] TJ- Doing what you said leaves my /etc/grub.d folder empty [23:38] Koning i followed it a bit ... maybe ubuntu gnerates a new grub.d, after you rename it to grub.ddd or so [23:38] Koning: aha... I suspected it might. "sudo apt-get --reinstall install -o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confmiss' grub-common" [23:38] nah, I moved the grub.d folder, did a grub reinstall, grub update, grub install and everything was blank [23:39] Koning: when the sysadmin removes conf files dpkg assumes we know what we're doing, and doesn't try to install them [23:39] ah cool [23:40] I'm gonna reboot and hope everything is fine, if I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on [23:41] Koning: you did do update-grub? [23:41] yes [23:41] do I need to do a grub-install ? [23:41] Koning: *after* grub-common put those scripts back in /etc/grub.d/ ? [23:42] yes [23:42] Koning: usually ... no ... grub-install writes the boot-strap and core.img, but it won't hurt to do it if you've got multiple OSes on the system arguing over which OS gets to control grub [23:43] that sounds pretty low level :p [23:43] Koning: grub-install also ensure all the grub modules are in /boot/grub/${ARCH}-${FW_TYPE}/ [23:43] Do you know where exactly grub is installed when I choose /dev/sda? [23:44] in the mbr [23:44] and is that on somehting like a partition or does my disk have reserved space for that? [23:44] Koning: yes. the first 440 bytes of sector 0 of /dev/sda gets the bootstrap. core.img is written in the spare sectors from sector 1 to the start of the first partition (usually sector 2048) [23:44] its like a reserved space [23:45] aaah, that explains that starting point :) [23:45] I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'm using a Koding.com VMS that has Ubuntu 14.04 installed, as well as the trusty repos. However, lftp isn't installed, and it also says "unable to locate package lftp" when I try to apt-get. Is there a quirk with sources.list, or does Koding.com not allow users to have lftp on their box? [23:45] Koning: on GPT disk-labels core.img is written into a BIOS boot partition which gdisk tools give the short code 0xEF02 [23:45] 440 bytes seems like so little space :p [23:46] Koning: TJ- 's great tutorial on where/how.whu boot coding : https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/#a_bootloader . [23:46] Koning: that is why it is called the bootstrap. It is loaded to address 0x7C00 in memory, and executed. It then calls BIOS disk services to load sectors 1-2048-ish into memory, and jumps into that code [23:46] do you mean the necesairy /boot partition from UEFI? [23:46] For the record, here's what my sources.list looks like: https://bpaste.net/raw/879bf4b6394d [23:47] Koning: For UEFI, firmware looks for the EFI system partition (that gdisk tools call 0xEF00) which must have a FAT file-system in, and reads an EFI executable. [23:48] Bashing-om: I'd forgotten about that! I need to update and expand it :) [23:48] TJ-: :) I use and refer it a LOT . [23:49] !info lftp [23:49] lftp (source: lftp): Sophisticated command-line FTP/HTTP/BitTorrent client programs. In component main, is optional. Version 4.6.1-2 (vivid), package size 457 kB, installed size 1296 kB [23:49] asbasp: what says: "sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy lftp" [23:49] Bashing-om: I'd best get cracking on it then, there's some embarrassing bugs [23:50] is an initramfs required? [23:50] TJ-: I have had no adverse reactions . [23:50] I once read an article that said it's slow/bad (can't really remember) [23:51] Bashing-om: good... but I noticed some glaring omissions and misleading statements/diagrams === BOHverkill_ is now known as BOHverkill [23:51] Koning: initrd.img is the kernel's bootstrap into the real root file-system. Usually required for all by the simplest configs [23:52] s/by/but/ [23:52] Doesn't arch use something else? [23:53] it might be mkinitcpio I'm thinkging about [23:54] hi [23:54] at the last upgrade fglrx seems broken still the case? [23:54] Koning: cpio is the tool used to create the file-system inside the initrd.img, before it is gzip-ed [23:55] Koning: different distros use different tools to create the initrd, but they all do basically the same thing [23:55] how do I see if I have cuda installed [23:55] I have GTX 960 hooked up to ubuntu machine with driver installed [23:55] Koning: Debian/Ubuntu used intramfs-tools and the "update-initramfs" command [23:56] TJ-: OT ... I looked on your desk(s) the other day, I did not see a soldiering iron or a motherboard. Maybe you can find the time to devote to the update of the booting sequence tutorial . [23:56] does fglrx is broken ? [23:57] yepla, YES [23:57] :((((((((((((((((((( [23:57] alu: "nvidia-settings -e CUDACores" [23:57] i want play ark [23:57] <7JTAAIGY8> I have ubuntu 15.04, and the wifi just stopped working. The little blue wif LED is lit but on the connections tab, the wifi button is grayed out. if I go to systems network, wireless is turned off, and I can;t turn it back on. Does anyone know how to fix this? [23:57] yepla, after upgrade [23:57] Bashing-om: you did not, or you did? [23:58] columbobaas: yes [23:58] yepla, i installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 and fglrx and it's fine [23:58] TJ-: I did ( you posted in another channel the .img of your work space ) . [23:58] Bashing-om: I was going to say... if you missed the rework station! [23:59] columbobaas: i will wait [23:59] still problem all the time problem [23:59] start be boring
